Well, this Texan is proud to know that we won Prop 2! All the news kept saying this was close, but it wasn't even close. I'm in Dallas County and it is obvious we won hands down!
Thank God they're not representative of the state as a whole.
Brrrrp. The same media said that John Kerry would win.
I suspect that the Republicans DID NOT run a candidate for mayor in Houston deliberately to NOT draw Democrats to the polls.
Prop 2 is at 77% statewide - including Austin! - and more like 82% - 85% everywhere else.
Not close.
AND this doesn't merely define marriage, but it is also "... prohibiting this state or a political subdivision of this state from creating or recognizing any legal status identical or similar to marriage."
Means even Austin cannot recognize gay marriage NOR provide for "partner benefits."
