What kind of "statistical technique" can generate state estimates from national polls?

Also, I was amused by this comment:

As new voters come of age, and as their older counterparts exit the voting pool
LOL -- older voters don't exit the voting pool... they stick with the Democratic Party forever. ;-)

“Gay marriage is not going away as a highly emotional, contested issue”

When has the NYet Times ever led off an article about protecting unborn children with a sentence like this?

I don’t care if 99.999% of the people support gay marriage. I don’t, won’t and never will...

NYT should start with a poll of their reporters and editors—and publish it.

A CNN poll this month found that a narrow majority of Americans supported same-sex marriage

The poll was BS when first published, and it is still BS.

From where I sit there is only a small hard-core minority of gay activists who are really FOR gay marriage.

The rest of the population is divided between those who are adamantly opposed, and those (mainly younger people) who seem indifferent on the subject.

1) gays will get married

2) the gay divorce rate will be 4 times that of straight couples

3) the primary cause of the high divorce rate in gays will be ‘adultery’-—read about the very promiscuous lifestyle of the homosexual community.

4) lawyers will make a killing on the high divorce rate(what else is new)

5) gays will blame the high divorce rate on ‘nonacceptance prejudice’ from straights and demand new laws

6) NAMBLA will push for lowering the age of consent

7) Blacks and Hispanics will be the greatest opposition to gay marriage YET STILL vote democrat

Inevitable?

You mean like the Equal Rights Amendment?

Wasn’t that also inevitable?

Oookay, so the NYT, which a very few years ago had at least 75% of its staff admitted homosexuals, is now Nostradamos? Predicts the future in favor of "Perversion Wins"? Anyone who places any credence in this propaganda is either a spineless, gutless coward eunuch, or on their side. Trying to instill defeatism in others is a nasty coward's way of fighting. I see a lot of it lately on FR.

If a person actually has conservative principles but is constantly telling others stuff like "It's over, it's hopeless, they'll win, get used to it" - they're as bad as that coward in "Saving Private Ryan" who refused to deliver the ammo and caused so many deaths. Cowards can go to hell, as far as I'm concerned.

And those who are not the cowards with supposed principles are just regular leftists (aka "pragmatists" and "realists" - btw, so well described in Screwtape and "That Hideous Strength") who want to instill fear and defeatism in conservatives so their side can win.

It's that simple. Read my tagline by C.S.Lewis. He was right.

The fight for the imposition of same-sex “marriage” has had other casualties - the right of people to constitutionally vote for an issue that is not addressed by the constitution; the right to privately support traditional values with impunity; the right to have your children educated free from coerced perversion, etc.
