Well, I agree it is a blow but it could also backfire too.

Given the rabid responses by some uh, conservatives shall we say, this could become a catalyst for them to push for their particular candidate come November and might deflect some who would vote for a more reasonable choice to vote for theirs because after all, he will support a ban on letting queers marry...

Suppose it all comes down to how well either side uses the issue between now and november, which will be the real answer I think.

Those who voted against the amendment might find themselves targetted, and that could make a difference...

my nickles worth.
