Come on California!

[truthkeeper]

Good for you. California is coming through also.

30 states have now passed such constitutional amendments. We don't want the Massachusetts-Connecticut disease to spread around the country.

This shows that conservatism does beat liberalism. It’s when we compromise that we lose.

[My Favorite Headache]

Well I guess all is not lost on my state after all.

[goldstategop]

And Arizona. Traditional values remain alive in America.

[Crimson Elephant]

How the HELL can people vote for Obama AND this amendment in the same election? Seriously......WTF?

How can Louisiana elect Jindal, McCain....and LANDRIEU? Why in the HELL do redstates in the West keep electing Dem Senators by big margins?

I just do not understand.

[goldstategop]

Yep. People voted against McCain because they didn't want a third Republican term. After 8 years, a party outwears its welcome.

The Hussein ministry of justice will overrule the results of these elections.

[goldstategop]

I don't understand what happened tonight. But life goes on and now the Democrats have the full responsibility to run the country. They can no longer blame Republicans for holding them up.

It will make us all feel good.

Until it gets tossed by the courts.

Looks like AZ is doing the same...

56% yes to 43% no - Proposition 100 - 86% precincts reporting.

Only my stupid county got it wrong (too many professors).

[Safrguns]

Now THIS makes absolutely NO SENSE to me whatsoever!!!

Florida Landslides for Obama, but bans gay marriage?????

WHAT IS UP WITH THAT?????

This shows that conservatism does beat liberalism. It’s when we compromise that we lose.

Not sure about that. It only shows that people vote for whatever (or whoever) they want to vote, they aren't necessarily 'coherent'. They may split votes on different issues or candidates.

[cherry]

Florida just shut the heck up....how dare you care about marriage...you don't care for our country and you don't care about babies being murdered...it would suit you well to be invaded by skinny gays with dirty hair....

yes, I am cranky...

how could the sheeple do this to us? and WHY?

[Clemenza]

Black voters may love Barry Obama, but don’t love Barry Manilow.

agreed

Courts can't overturn constitutional bans very easily.
