During the interview, Romney told me that he's the biggest defender of traditional marriage and distanced himself from John McCain on this issue. How is this going to play with grassroots conservative groups and inside the McCain camp? Is Brian Camenker from Mass Resistance running for his heart medication right about now? (it's in the upper left draw in the kitchen) They have taken issue with Romney in the past on this saying he could have done a whole lot more to prevent gay marriage in Massachusetts. The Romney campaign says Governor Romney did as much as he could really do under the law. I can read the emails now. Comments? Watch above, transcription below.

"With regards to same sex marriage, I don't think there's been a bigger defender of traditional marriage among the political world than me over these last several years than me. I fought for a federal amendment to the constitution to establish marriage as a relationship between a man and a woman. Senator McCain voted against that."
