Is the Republican edifice against gay marriage cracking significantly?

Obviously, the coming out of former RNC chair (2005–07) Ken Mehlman in the past few weeks is a ripple in the pond, but now he and other big money Republicans are starting to fundraise to support same-sex marriage. Naturally, this doesn’t bring the entire Republican Party along, but does it signify a shift toward a majority coalition among Dems, Reps and others regarding this single issue.
It would be quite an amazing shift given that it’s been used so explicitly as a wedge issue to unify the Republican base in the past. Perhaps with the party split over Tea Party concerns, party members are less willing to entertain the prevailing dogma on this issue.
