I'll bet it's put to a vote in that state again within three years...and passes. ...

I'm a bit more optimistic about this. We are more likely to win (ie, not lose as much) in non-presidential election cycles. You can probably plot a straight line on a graph - as turnout increases, liberalism increases proportionally. Applies to candidates as well as ballot questions. This got Brown as Senator for 2+ years; this got the fake indian, non-licensed practicing lawyer warren in last week. It would be interesting exercise to see if 'R' state reps/sinators increase more in the off years and shrink in the presidential years...

Look, I hope you're right about election cycles and turnout. However, even if you are correct, all the bad guys will do is put assisted suicide, gay marriage, etc, up for a third or fourth vote the next time there's presidential election. Check out the front page of today's NYTimes vis-a-vis how emboldened pro-gay marriage folks are after this election. They are going to go after every state in the union and they will not give up and any state that eventually voted in favor if gay marriage will never reverse that.

I'm not saying I am giving up or that any of us has a right to give up. I'll keep voting, writing letters, donating, and marching. However, I now believe that dramatic action by God is the only thing that will save this country.

“God is not mocked.” I fear for our country that God will act — and I fear for our country that He won't.
