Gutsy Call: Team Obama Weighs Political Advantage Of Admitting It's Pro-Gay-Marriage

Not mentioned in this reporting: The clear implication that Obama is currently lying.

Obama’s top political advisers have held serious discussions with leading Democrats about the upsides and downsides of coming out for gay marriage before the fall election, a Democratic strategist who has discussed these matters directly with Obama’s campaign inner circle tells me.

You know how I said "Gutsy call?" Right, his advisers go on to spin it that despite all this polling and wargaming, Obama will make the call based on... his gut.

Those advisers are convinced that Obama will make this call based on his gut, and ultimately without regard to the fine-grained political analysis of the situation, the source says.

What do the polls tell him his gut's saying?
