I think John Edwards probably supports gay marriage, or at least doesn't really care, but knows he can't win if he comes out with a pro-gay marriage position. Maybe Elizabeth's statements are a way of sending this signal to the gay community?

Edit: damn, I'm offline rest of the day. Really wanted to discuss this further...maybe tomorrow.
