How has Gay Marriage Amendment Brouhaha affected shrub's

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

standing in CA, NY, WA and other "progressive" type states with a strong liberal base? My theory and hope is that it would galvanize progressives in these states and give the Democrats some breathing room so they might not have to fight so hard or commit so many resources to a critical state like CA. Any polling #'s or other evidence, anecdotal or otherwise, about this?

2. I'm not sure.

But new CBS polling after the gay marriage "storm" still has a Kerry-Edwards ticket winning by 8% over Chimp-Cheney.

And I can't remember the source, but another poll had Kerry winning in CA by about 12% - the approximate margin for Gore in 2000.

Again, I don't remember a source, but Kerry's actually beating Bush in Arizona by 3% in another new poll. That's GREAT news.

When an incumbent is down in most polls at any point in the year he's up for "re"-election, he loses. That's according to the Gallup poll. Looks like we're still in good shape. I'm feeling much, much better than I had a few months ago. It looks like our party will be very charged-up and united for the Fall, and it looks like the somewhat-protracted primary season has helped our image with the general voting public. Very good news, indeed.

Hope that helps! :)
