Polymorphously perverse polling.

Tell us the truth!

So now there's scientific evidence that if you're homophobic, you may in fact be suppressing homosexual urges. http://tinyurl.com/7z73nby

And as we've known for a while--and as Ross Douthat points out again in today's column on Obama's "marriage maneuvers" http://tinyurl.com/c2mrwu9--opinion polls tend to overrate support for gay marriage since about 10% of respondents will tell a pollster they support gay marriage and then in the privacy of the booth vote no. 

Does that mean these people are uncomfortable being publicly opposed to gay marriage?  Or does answering "yes" or "no" to an anonymous pollster on the telephone count as public?  Do some secretly gay men (and women) who drape themselves in anti-gay rhetoric for their friends, church and family, do they, in the privacy of the voting booth, give in to their secret urges?

                                           "YES!  YES!  OH, GOD, YES!!!"

  "Excuse me, Mr. Craig, but am I detecting a 'wide stance'?"
