Republicans shift away from marriage to concentrate on salient issues

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0312/74661.html

Republican leadership has decided to keep legislation about marriage off of Congress' floor.  The author believes this may be a political strategy due to the fact that moral issues have taken a back seat in the national eye to fiscal issues.

It would be interesting to look at whether or not individual districts are actually shifting their stance on gay marriage or if there is just a national shift.
