I love PPP.

I wonder how Nevada Republicans feel about homosexual brothels.

"BAN THEM!"

I think Wyoming is one of those states where odd, libertarianish Republicans dominate the party base.

Still much work to be done.

July 2012 Wisconsin poll:

Do you think same-sex marriage should be legal or illegal?

Legal ............................................................... 43%
Illegal .............................................................. 47%
Not sure .......................................................... 10%

http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/2011/PPP_Release_WI_072012.pdf

We already know that Wisconsin has voted 59% against this policy. PPP is cooking the books!

We also know that Wisconsin voted 56% for Barack Obama, so I guess there's no need to hold a second election there. Look at all the money we can save taxpayers by assuming public opinion is set in stone and never changes!

That would be a valid point if Barack Obama's opponent in 2012 was John McCain.

...

No.  No, it wouldn't be.  Where are you getting this?  Mr. Moderate was clearly being sarcastic.

Wtf.

Does Baltimore Sun have a good record?  I still expect it to pass, but that seems unexpected.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

If we still can't get any non-New England states to vote for gay marriage I might actually be equally or more depressed about this country and its people than I'll be if Obama loses.

Washington looks good and Wisconsin might be a target in the next cycle or so.  It isn't all bad.

In MN the hetero marriage amendment leads by 1 now:

18-34-year-olds only oppose it 54-44?  Um, okay.

The DNC should really start pouring some funds into this.  But with one week left to go, how much can you do?

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

What would have to happen in Michigan for the amendment to be repealed?  Would the legislature have to act, or can the people petition for it?

New Mexico does NOT support gay marriage yet:

Should marriages between same-sex couples be legally allowed in New Mexico? Or legally banned in New Mexico?

44% Allowed
51% Banned

http://www.surveyusa.com/client/PollReport.aspx?g=b470cfab-ff05-45b8-bb3f-01c54338a6ad

Seven points is a surprising margin for that state.

Remember how during the run up to the election many Republicans were complaining that the Party Id's in polls were to Democratic and that wound up being false?

This might be one that id\s a party id issue.  Party id in the poll is Dem +3, it was Dem +12 in the exit polls from November

Well, the 5% who want it neither allowed or banned are the ones who have their way there.

This is what always got me about New Mexico same sex marriage laws.  If it isn't defined in the law as being banned, shouldn't it be De-facto legal?

I mean, it works that way for about every other law.

I don't think it works that way for marriage.  A couple seeking a marriage license could only be recognized if the state's marriage laws specifically permit them to.  If the NM marriage laws as written specifically mention heterosexual couples but not homosexual ones, then gay couples don't get the benefits.  A judge, however, could easily extend those rights to homosexuals, I believe, if said marriage laws were sued for violating the equal protection clause.

Speaking of Hawaii, what are the odds that gay marriage will be passed in that state by 2016?  The Democrats have over a 2-1 majority in the statehouse and all but one seat in the Senate.
