Abercrombie speculated in an interview that it was gay marriage because many, many Republicans voted in that primary and he says they were driven to the polls by their faith leaders telling them to vote against them who signed gay marriage into law.
That's him making up sh*t in order to blame it on Republicans.
So Republicans would vote for someone who voted for Gay Marriage in the Legislature (Ige), but not for the guy who signed it (Abercrombie)?
Makes about as much sense as the charge that Democrats conspired to save Thad Cochran.
Cochran was probably the best Mississippi was going to get anyway.
