Independent voters and swing voters are not really moved by it and the conservative anti-gay constituency is aging and gradually diminishing. Urban conservatives are also running away from Bigots for Jesus because that behavior has made them uncompetitive in every major urbanized state.The Law Talking Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17886791396468512490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762928.post-53657210183262866042011-06-28T06:28:23.380-07:002011-06-28T06:28:23.380-07:00The Democrats in Iowa have been openly acting to d...The Democrats in Iowa have been openly acting to defend the Iowa Supreme Court ruling that legalized gay marriage in that state - even after their electoral defeats in 2010.

By letting the measure pass, the GOP has effectively taken a losing wedge issue for them off the table.

It would be nice if the Republicans didn't pander to bigots but if they must do it, it's nice that they've given up on taking meaningful action.
