This is a good sign because the conservative side in these marriage votes always wins by a wider margin than predicted in the polls. Either the polls are biased or there’s a version of the Bradley Effect at play. In Virginia & Ohio, for example, traditional marriage won by well into double digits after polls said it was too close to call. In states like Missouri, our side won 70-30 after polls showed it much, much closer (single digit spread, if I recall). Homo activists worked overtime in Wisconsin & Oregon, thinking they could win there and citing polls to prove it, and they lost by 15 points or so. Let’s hope California shows sanity on at least one issue this year.

We were sweating, even here in conservative Texas, in 2005 because the homophiles were throwing big money into the anti-amendment campaign, convoluting the issue with threats of all marriages being invalidated by passage of the amendment. Man, were they wrong. We passed it with over 76% - more than 3 to 1. I'm hoping California has the same spirit.
