Did African Americans Vote for Barack Obama, but against Proposition 8 in California?
I hadn't considered the possibility that a black person could pull the lever for Barack Obama AND vote against Proposition 8.
The irony is so over the top it's like, you can't make this stuff up. I wonder how many had tears in their eyes after Barack Obama won, yet they voted no on Proposition 8, which would have kept Gay Marriage sanctioned in California.
My gosh, could you imagine interviews where people try and explain how they split their vote in this situation, especially people who were crying after Barack Obama was declared the winner.
I personally think that the defeat of Proposition 8 in California only matters if a gay person desires to bring themselves down to the level of heterosexual marriage.

Split-The-Vote
Announcing Split The Vote. This is a way for democrats who support Hillary Clinton but who are not happy with how the DNC ran the nomination process can stand and be counted.
This fall, split your vote. Vote for either McCain, and the democratic congress people in your district, or vote for Obama, and the Republican congress people in your district. Or, split your vote and vote for Nader or the Green Party, and maybe don't vote at all for the congress people running in your area for re-election.
Split the Vote just the way the DNC split the vote in Florida and Michigan.
