Steve Schmidt, a former top advisor for the McCain Campaign, is going to urge the GOP to get behind gay marriage:

“I’m confident American public opinion will continue to move on the question toward majority support, and sooner or later the Republican Party will catch up to it,” Schmidt plans to say according to excerpts provided to ABC News.

Schmidt’s push for Republicans to endorse same-sex marriage comes as his party is grappling with a string of gay rights victories in Iowa, Vermont, and Washington, D.C.

I wonder what Schmidt’s mentor, Karl Rove, will have to say about this.
