It's been more than two weeks since the Iowa Supreme Court ruled on same sex marriage in the state. Now, one Iowan is using the issue to gain support for a possible gubernatorial run and national attention.

A new ad by Bob Vander Plaats on The Drudge Report is asking you if you think an Iowa court should define marriage. Vander Plaats says the same sex marriage issue isn't a judicial decision it's a legislative and public decision.

Republican Party of Iowa chairman Matt Strawn says this hot button issue will be a big part of many Republicans' campaigns in 2010. He thinks Democrats failure to debate same sex marriage will attract Iowans to vote Republican next year.

Iowa Democrat Party chairman Michael Kiernan says the Supreme Court already ruled on same sex marriage and legislators have more important issues to handle.
