She won't cave. She is too invested in this and stands to gain too much by sticking to her guns to change now.
But if she does, I hope that every gay couple that obtains a license through her office celebrates the moment with long, lusty kisses until she is in danger of choking from the vomit in her mouth.

I don't think she'll cave because even if she doesn't see herself as a hypocrite for being a divorcee refusing marriage licenses to same-sex couples, she definitely would see herself as a hypocrite for augering in like she has only to cave in at the end. It would take a herculean amount of rationalization for her to defend such an action to herself and she would not only be in a continual losing situation with her ideological opposition who would just see her as more of a hypocrite than she already is, but she would become a hypocrite to her current ideological allies who are backing her for "taking a stand for christ!"
While I agree it's unlikely she'll cave, it's not unprecedented for people to do so when faced with real consequences and not just the threat of said consequences. I fully expect her to martyr herself (at least in her own eyes), but I still hope she caves.
