Default Latest polls on Prop 8 in California

55% oppose the amendment that would ban same-sex marriage
41% favor the amendment
4% are undecided

This is a sharp change from May 23, when the favors led the opposed by 19 percentage points.

I'm surprised it's that close. Maybe the earthquake will only be 7.5 instead of 8.5

I dont get it. Wasnt this supposed to be our Gettysburg? Does that make us Union forces? If so, then we should win this battle, not lose it.

Maybe this is really more our Battle of Chancellorsville.

Waters definitely thinks the church is the confederacy. This would therefore be its high water mark, on seminary ridge, no less.

Early-Morning Seminary Ridge or Release-Time Seminary Ridge?

What do losing teams and armies do when faced with defeat? They turn on themselves. They purge. They burn the chaff.

First up, Mr. Nebraska Hippie Guy.

It's not the Union army or the Confederacy, it's this:

Wait a minute, there were neither windmills nor dreamy, misguided and self-anointed spanish knights at Gettysburg.
