North Carolina just recently overwhelmingly voted down same sex marriage. A lot of those votes were from Christians who happen to be black. To say that is not an issue is simply the ignorance of youth. Among voters in NC it is indeed an issue and one that redounds in Romneys favor.
Well at least I know the people of North Carolina did more to stop gay marriage than Mittens did. As for it ‘redounding’ in his favor — I don’t think so. If everyone knew what Mitt did to bring about gay marriage in Massachusetts, it would not reflect favorably on Romney at all, except in the homosexual community. As much as he wishes it were different, I doubt that particular 1% of the population will ever help him.
