I can potentially give Walker room on the marriage issue. He needs to come out with a better national position, but Wisconin leans left, and I don’t doubt public opinion was a fit with his positions. This is an issue that has to be handled well to be able to win nationally...a good percent of winnable votes will tune out when they hear a simple ‘I believe in traditional marriage’. A case needs to be made bigger than that. What Walker did was probably reflective of Wisconsin at that moment.

No. Actually Wisconsin voters (59%) ratified a state amendment banning queer marriages.

If you believe in the will of the people, the sovereignty of States Rights and that queers should not be allowed to marry, then you have to disagree - Strongly Disagree - with Walker as he caved in and abandoned the majority of voters in his state.
