For many voters, it's an article of faith that political consultant Karl Rove orchestrated the 2004 ballot fight over same-sex marriage to help push conservatives to the polls. In the process, the theory goes, those voters helped George Bush win reelection.
Rove takes a somewhat different view. He says backers of same-sex marriage started the fight by filing suits and winning a Supreme Court decision in Massachusetts. Whatever his role was four years ago, Rove predicted in an interview that the issue would be less important in 2008. "It has a lower profile, but it will be an issue in people's minds," Rove said. "The bigger issues will be the economy, terrorism, healthcare, energy."
