I think there's a lot to that idea. The suprisingly large chunk of poll respondents who said "moral values" were their number one priority seem likely to be anti-gay marriage initiative voters. Hell, I didn't even know there were a dozen states with such initiatives on the ballot; I certainly didn't anticipate the possibility that they might actually draw in a strongly Bush-supporting segment of the electorate. |
I hadn't thought about that question bringing out Bush supporters in the states where it was on the ballot. One of those states
was Ohio:

Voters in Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon and Utah all approved anti-same-sex marriage amendments by double-digit margins.
