"So Missouri voted to 'keep marriage like it's always been' there? What, between consenting fifteen year-olds?"--Lin Brehmer, Chicago DJ
Yes, I'd like to personally thank my home state for reminding me why most Northerners reckon it belongs to the South. And for reminding me that it's like a parent to me: I love it, I miss it, but I can't ever see myself living with it again.

Based on my quick look at the gubornatorial primary results, it looks like the Missouri electorate yeserday was 58% Democratic. With 71%in favor of the amendment, that suggests at least 50% of the Democrats voted for it and probably much higher as I doubt the Republican vote was more than 80% in favor.

Some have theorized that many Republicans went to the polls and took Democratic ballots so they could vote for Gov. Holden, widely seen as the weaker candidate in the fall. I doubt it -- in my experience Republican voters are never that clever.
