Gay Marriage in California will it knife the Dems in the back.

Last week the California Supreme Court created a new right in California. So for the next few months Gays and Lesbians from all over the world will flock to California to get married. While every state has its own policy, it leave the rest of country to wonder if "what starts in California eventually head east." I think this judicial activism will in the long run undercut what the Homosexual have been seeking and I believe even the democratic party.

In California they have already collected enough signatures to put a constitutional amendment on the ballot in November. It is already on the ballot for Florida and possibly in Arizona. If those three states are voting in November on basically banning Gay Marriage there is a huge voting issue. Traditionally these types of issues galvanize the Conservative base to get out and vote. I wonder if the vote in Florida and California could bring out the Republican vote in Florida in droves. This could deliver those two states to McCain and would certainly be a win for the Republican party. I don't know how many Congressional seats are up in those area's either. But this battle could blunt the tidal wave that the Democrats have been building.

California has opened the Gay closet door with some judicial activism. But it may be slammed shut just as fast and pushing the left coast right ward in what might be a surprising jolt in an election that was supposed to be the year for the left.
