HOW THE SOUTH WENT FROM YELLOW DOG TO RED STATE:
Carolinians' views on gay unions: Two-third oppose legal recognition (DIANE SUCHETKA, 9/14/03, Charlotte Observer)
Carolinas Poll Residents of North and South Carolina object to the legal recognition of same-sex unions nearly 3-to-1, according to this year's Carolinas Poll.Of the 908 people surveyed for The Charlotte Observer/NBC6 poll, 24 percent said they favor legal status for same-sex unions. Sixty-six percent said they're opposed. Eleven percent didn't answer or said they didn't know.
The results indicate that the Carolinas are more conservative on the issue than the nation as a whole.
In a June Gallup Poll, 39 percent of Americans said the law should recognize marriage between homosexuals. Fifty-five percent said the law should not.
In case you were wondering why running for president requires Senators Graham and Edwards to give up their seats.

Oh, and they (the GOP) also run not-so-veiled racist campaigns too. But the ends justify the means, so what the hey...
Posted by: Jimmy at September 14, 2003 10:52 PMThe GOP campaigns against welfare abuse,
crime and the general decline of societal
norms. If you see a racial component to that
it's merely a correlation. You call it veiled,
but race really isn't the point.
That's a well worn liberal club : complain about
any societal ill associated with certain groups
and its pure racism.
JH--Ah, so McCain really did father a mixed-race child out of wedlock. That bastard! Thanks for clearing that up for me.
