Actually it was 62% in November 2000. But its interesting nearly a quarter of the Democrats either abstained or voted against their own leadership. They know there's no popular support for same sex marriage here. The Democrats were able to muster only 36 votes in a chamber they control for a radical rewrite of the state's law. And it wasn't even an election year! And next year, they'll be forced to take a stand on a constitutional amendment that will enshrine protection of traditional marriage in the State Constitution. By all means, let's have a debate. The Democrats didn't even want to ask the voters to consider revisiting Prop. 22. Call it a profile in spectacular political cowardice.
