Steele reframes marriage debate to widen GOP appeal
RNC chair Michael Steele argues attacking gay marriage could hurt pocketbooks as small businesses pay more for health care and benefits. He cites a flight conversation with a self described fiscally conservative but socially liberal student and notes a shift toward acceptance despite 55 percent opposing gay marriage. He also jokes about earlier hip hop makeover pledge amid criticism from social conservatives.
