Obama political legacy will be, "Some of my best friends are gay". Such a waste of political talent!

This decision has finished him on the national stage for 08,12 an 16. I just hope he can hold his seat in the Senate. This will only happen if he can honestly face his voters and ask for forgiveness.

7. hold his senate seat?

he`s in for life unless he screws something up for the folks back home or seeks other pursuits. the republicans in this state have no one to run against him into the foreseeable future. don`t worry he`ll be on the national stage for quite a few years

9. You feel he has not screw something up back home??? n/t

[madrchsod]

11. ahh... no.

[cuke]

10. I disagree

It will hurt him now, but will soon be forgotten by most

[CK_John]

13. This will follow him just like Ted K's problem. The GOP will never let it go

and use it to poison the well every chance they get.

12. Umm, No.

He'll do just fine, unless he hasn't learned from this experience and especially if he doesn't take into account that the interwebs will only grow between now and 2016.
