Prop 8: Not Looking Any Better

Posted in Law, Politics, Society by MB

From the WSJ:

A group leading the fight against the measure, Equality for All, said this week that one of its internal polls shows Proposition 8 leading by four percentage points. The close results of that poll, too, may suggest a dead heat as the Nov. 4 election approaches.

It looks like the Mormon church has decided that California is too close to home to let Prop 8 fail:

Pollsters say that fueling the rise in support for Proposition 8 is an advertising blitz heavily bankrolled by the Mormon Church, which suggests, among other things, that if Proposition 8 doesn’t pass then schoolchildren will be indoctrinated about gay marriage.

The Mormon church, concerned about the indoctrination of children?  That’s rich.  Can’t they just stick to baptizing dead people?

Update: Ta-Nehisi Coates has some excellent analysis concerning other areas of support for Prop 8.
