Why don't you go file a lawsuit and say the states are "helping" McCain win, see how that goes?

LOL, yes, every thing is black and white, right? I think I made a mistake it my last post. I said "conservatives." I meant conservative on this view. It WAS admitted by multiple Republicans and a lot of Bush's campaign members that the gay marriage ban on the ballot in 2004 was going to help him win. Most of the political analyst, if you go back and read the political blogs at the time say so too. ANNNDD, the voting polls show that more people came out to vote mainly because of the ban, not the President.
I am MORE than aware that the majority of Americans are against gay marriage: Republicans and a large portion of Democrats. Kerry was from Massachusetts and had a strong stance in gay marriage. To say putting the ban on the ticket did not have a toll is a ignorant thing to say. Go look at ANY post-analysis of that election. I just want us to vote on the candidates... not a single issue, when we vote for president. Is that too much to ask?
