Congress is calling Mike Gabbard, one of Hawaii's most vocal opponents to same-sex marriage.The 52-year-old small-business man said he was starting an exploration committee to gauge the support he would have if he challenged incumbent Rep. Neil Abercrombie (D, Hawaii).

If he does run, Gabbard said, he would campaign as a Republican.
