It really breaks the mold when groups turn out to vote in numbers they never have before. Like socially conservative african americans - who are OK applying "separate but equal" doctrine to homosexuality with prop 8, and don't see it as a civil rights issue because gays can choose the closet.
Actualy, if you look at the exit polls you will see that it was no one "group" of people. Simply a graduated line with age. Old people have not got it yet, young people (mostly) have.
Interesting isn't it?

ReplyDeleteMy only point is that it's silly to assume that obama voters think gay marriage is awesome.
