But the risk of NOT being re-elected is higher for those who do not support normal marriage.

Voting paterns favor conservatives turning out for their beliefs than for leftists. With the Voter News Service numbers FINALLY being exposed it seems the liberals are in FAR more serious problems. Only 17% of america identifies themseves as liberal. The number of conservatives identifyers went up into the high 30's or low 40's.

"liberal" continues to be rejected and the protection of marriage against deviants like homosexuals is a winning issue.

We'd first need someone in Congress with the testicular fortitude to introduce a bill and others with nearly as much to co-sponsor it. I have little confidence it will be done before some fool state deems it appropriate to issue full marriage benefits to Phags. Shuffling the issue off to a court "removes" the decision-making from the "lawmakers". What a convenience!?!
