winning tactic to divert attention. News here says 66% of US citzens support the Bush move. Claim was made that SFO publicity on gay marriages has turned tide against gay marriage & to some degree gay rights.

I don't think so really. Believe it or not, Americans are still mostly live and let live personally, even if public figures don't often express this sentiment. I think the majority have no problem with "civil unions" between gays that are effectively marriages in all but name. The offer of this will be enough to placate everyone. Kerry is already saying he's undecided, more or less tabling it as a campaign issue to compare with the disaster in Iraqistan and the job hemorrhage.
