Having gone over this some here, now we see that Gov. Palin is in fact expressing a different view from her running mate.

Palin breaks with McCain on gay marriage amendment

Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin says she supports a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, a break with John McCain who has said he believes states should be left to define what marriage is.

In an interview with Christian Broadcasting Network, the Alaska governor said she had voted in 1998 for a state amendment banning same sex marriage and hoped to see a federal ban on such unions.

"I have voted along with the vast majority of Alaskans who had the opportunity to vote to amend our Constitution defining marriage as between one man and one woman. I wish on a federal level that's where we would go. I don't support gay marriage," Palin said. She said she believed traditional marriage is the foundation for strong families.

McCain, an Arizona senator, is supporting a ballot initiative in his state this year that would ban gay marriage. But he has consistently and forcefully opposed a federal marriage amendment, saying it would usurp states' authority on such matters.

So what does this all mean? Nothing now before the election? But what could it mean after? Probably nothing after as well. Other VPs and Presidents haven't seen eye to eye on things either, and that has changed history. For example, take Cheney who kept pushing Bush to go to war with Iraq when we weren't done with Al-Qaida in Afganistan yet. And Bush did it. Now look where we're at.

I have to wonder, if McCain/Palin do get elected, what other differences would she be willing to speak up on? Hopefully she wouldn't just resign when the pressure gets to be too tough.
