They are getting whipped because they were NOT conservatives.

Bingo. Conservative ballot initiatives did just fine (gay marriage ban in CA and FL). McCain is not a conservative. He tried to sound like one and came across as a stuttering old fool. Palin saved him from a McGovern type blowout.

It's a little more complicated than that. I live in CA and I can tell you Prop 8 won by 52-48. This is hardly a significant number. If not for the Hispanic vote in favor of 8, it would have lost. Crazy I know but true. Hispanics overwhelmingly voted FOR Prop 8. I think blacks also voted for Prop 8 but I'm not sure about that. Maybe someone can verify that. These same Hispanics voted for Obama-probably because he is Not White. Most Hispanics probably would have more in common with McCain than Obama but they easily bought into the rubbish of the Obama Machine. These folks are mostly poor and very uneducated and are easily persuaded to vote in a certain way.
