167. Right-leaning left?
Here's an interesting tidbit of info from Ohio, America's "Heartland":

Total Number of Votes for GWB: 2,796,147

Total Number of Votes for Issue 1 (anti-gay marriage): 3,249,157

If we assume that the vote tallies are accurate (HA!)... well, if we assume that the vote tallies are somewhat accurate, then these figures indicate that a lot of people who DIDN'T vote for Bush also didn't want gay people to get married.

Evidently, these are Democrats (or Republicans) who will still vote for a Democratic candidate even if they have socially conservative "values," and even if the candidate's party doesn't support those socially conservative "values."

Who *are* these people? And where do we get more of 'em?
