The Dems are going to a state that is 1) Right to Work and 2) Anti Gay Marriage and Civil Union. Real principled, smart move!
Makes you yearn for the days of that crazy Doc Howard Dean and the scream!
Total number of Republicans voting in Tuesday’s primary 966,605
Total number of Democrats voting in Tuesday’s primary 958,906
Good, for electoral votes the state is still in play.
But,

Constitutional Amendment 1 AGAINST 832,219
From the numbers I think you can see the reason Obama was upset this topic boiled to the surface now and not after November.
From the numbers I think you can see the political courage, and just how hard it was yesterday for Obama to side on gay marriage.
He risked his entire campaign 2012, by coming out of the closet.
Now, I hope you can see, just how good a man he is. Look hard now, for he will be the last in our lifetime… We are living with a man matching the stature of Washington, Lincoln, Roosevelt, and most of us, haven’t the slightest clue.

Boycott the damn convention! Delegates, just watch it from Delaware.
It is more ‘comfortable’ to watch it from here with VP Biden.

It’s embarrassing that states write discrimination into their Constitutions. I’m officially declaring North Carolina 3/5ths of a state in retaliation.
Comment by nemski on 9 May 2012 at 6:59 am:
MJ, the convention is happening in North Carolina. Don’t even waste your time thinking otherwise.
Comment by Truth Teller on 9 May 2012 at 8:51 am:
The problem is the Dem’s don’t have the balls to change it.
Comment by Valentine on 9 May 2012 at 8:53 am:
It would be a little hard to change it, when Obama is not for gay marriage.
Comment by socialistic ben on 9 May 2012 at 10:22 am:
Better to have the Convention there and feature gay people who were married in REAL states as speakers. Just shove in their inbred piggy faces.
Comment by SussexAnon on 9 May 2012 at 11:57 am:
NC is a “right to work” state. Another reason to change the venue.
Comment by Valentine on 9 May 2012 at 12:04 pm:
Yes! Two good reasons.
Comment by X Stryker on 9 May 2012 at 1:12 pm:
To play devils advocate, assuming they do go ahead as planned, I hope they fire up local Dems to throw the trash out of the legislature.
Comment by occam on 9 May 2012 at 1:40 pm:
I would be a fan of allotting NC 3/5ths of the delegates they’re entitled to.
