I’m not convinced,

February 24, 2004 by Michael Boyle

I’m not convinced,

but reading the transcript of Bush’s statement just now, the following quote jumps out at me:

The amendment should fully protect marriage, while leaving the state legislatures free to make their own choices in defining legal arrangements other than marriage.

To me, it is clear that Bush supports Civil Unions. I hope the press will push him on this point, because it is a significant departure from other statements that have come from the right on this issue.
