Probably my last post on this for a bit, just needed something quick to throw up.
Ezra Klein is a bit less optimistic about the chances of defeating the constitutional referendum in California (For the record, he’s responding to a different Greg). Essentially he’s a bit pessimistic because while attitudes regarding homosexuality have flipped, attitudes regarding gay marriage have remained roughly constant.
On the other hand, if those are charts, this might just be one of the better shots anyways in the near future. This is on the whole a Democratic year and one where in the primaries at least youth turnout has been extraordinary. Circumstances might not quite be so good come 2010. The one disadvantage is that you’d really want this decision coming down right after an election to maximize the time to allow people to adapt to the new status quo.
