California's Proposition 8

Right now, with 9 percent of the vote in, the ballot measure banning same-sex marriage is ahead in the polls.

This is interesting:

The proposition was trailing among white voters, but was ahead among black voters. Latino voters were closely divided.

People who said they attended religious services weekly were overwhelmingly voting for the measure, while those who said that they occasionally or never went to religious services were voting no.

Voters older than 65 voted mostly for the proposition, while those in the 18-29 range voted against it.


Of course, the measure could eventually go down to defeat. However, if it passes, I won't be one bit surprised.
