i'm not saying it wasn't a factor!!! i'm saying it is naive to say it is THE FACTOR! you just can't jump the gun like that, especially if you are the NY Times.

i still hate that marriage is a word used by government. i think the solution for this is for the government not to “marry” anyone. the government should grant civil unions to one man and one woman, and one man and a man, and one woman and a woman. let the churches deal with their religious marriage and bigotry, and leave the government out of it

well said. shame on you ny times

so democrats in alaska are racist??? or MABYE the democrats there voted for their hometown hero sarah palin.
i don't think anyone will disagree with me there.
now moving on, anyone who knows anything about statistics, should realize that there could be a million other factors going across the south causing those people to vote republicain, and POTENTIALLY none of them coudl have anything to do with race. it is a very naive and pre-mature contestation to say that those people are racist. eric - san francisco ca - i voted for change
