President Obama publicly announced his support of marriage equality, and ‘The War Room’ sat down with TV host and CA. Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom to help put things in perspective. He filled us in on what impact this will have on Obama’s reelection campaign.

Freedom to Marry‘s Sean Eldridge spoke to Jennifer about the symbolic value of the president vocalizing his support. He answered: Will this make people more comfortable about supporting marriage equality?

Conservative J.D. Hayworth thought this would cost Obama in some swing states. Will the election be decided on other issues?

And Jennifer had some thoughts of her own. She answered: Why should conservatives and libertarians support marriage equality?
