I'm split on this one, one part of me says it'll happen when Obama is in office and only if he's in office but the other is saying it may never get legalized nationally in the US because i have a gut feeling that in 2016 RP's might get in and will do everything to make sure they get in.
The only thing that could prevent it is a Constitutional Amendment, and there is absolutely not the support for this now. Even in 2006, when Bush tried, twice, there wasn't enough support for it. It actually got voted on (in the Senate I believe) and they didn't get the required supermajority to send it further. The support for same sex marriage is much higher now, and isn't likely to drop just because a Republican ends up in office.
