No doubt, some of them are deadmocrats. But, it didn't help them anyway.

Time to start demanding the Democrat Convention be moved from NC. They'd be hypocrites for holding it there. Turn the diversity thing against the ‘Rats.

Not one state has ever approved gay marriage, when the people were allowed to vote for it.

So of course, the libs in NC will fish out some liberal judge and get it declared unconstitutional.

Don’t be too sure. In the privacy of the voting booth, Richard (”Let’s HOMOSEXUALIZE the military”) Burr may have voted against it. Come to think of it, both of his very dainty sons may have opposed it as well!

GOOD!!! Maybe there is hope in Nov.

I don't want to jinx the country, but maybe the MSM has done so much propagandizing and artificially pumping up n0bama's ratings that it's got conservatives scared to the point where they'll make sure they show up at the polls.
At the same time the government handout crowd is becoming so overconfident, that they'll figure "Ahhh Bama's so far ahead, why bother going to the polls. We'll just stay home eating pork rinds and drinking malt liquor."

Dare to hope.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I heard that people feared that happening. That's why this is a state constitutional amendment.

I heard somewhere that North Carolina was the state to win for Democrats due to the “wealthy independents”.

What a misleading headline. Sounds as if gay marriage was approved.

Another big thank you to NC GOP voters! I’ve been “severely” bummed since Newt dropped out & this along w/Lugar’s loss gives me hope.

You don’t expect accuracy or clarity or truth from the AP, do you?

They spin everything to make the left look intelligent, sympathetic, and caring and the right to look stupid, and cold, and selfish.

When a major agenda item for the left goes down in defeat, they’ll paint it somehow as a win for their side, all to create a spirit of defeat for conservatives.

And let me add that since news is going online, AP editorial standards are in the latrine. Before, they were biased but at least their articles adhered to some sort of journalistic standards and style guides. Now they are biased and their writing is atrocious.
