Sounds like a slap at Howard Dean...
In the last Ohio presidential election, Ohio was nearly 50/50 between President Bush and that doofus sKerry. However, defense of marriage referendum passed like 86/14. So that means many, many Democraps voted for sKerry but not for gay rights.
If Bayh would ever recommends this, the howling would run him out of the party.
". . .many people don't think we have the backbone."
"Many people" are right. If the Dems would get off those issues that most Americans find repulsive (gay marriage, gay "civil rights," abortion-on-demand, etc.) and get onto the issue most Americans think is importion (national security and defense, maybe "many people" would start to listen.
Uh, a "few voices"? Total bunko. They had Micheal "Hate America" Moore sitting next to Jimmy Carter at their convention for crying out loud.
