I did some quick calculations about same-sex marriage shortly after the vote and guestimated that the conservative motion to overturn it would fail by 20 votes (see here).
Clayton over at Marriage Vote does a much more meticulous calculation and comes up with same-sex marriage surviving by just two votes.
Update As commenter Nitangae points out, Clayton's numbers seem to be firming up towards the confirmation of ssm.
Having looked down the posts on your blog it seems like you're pretty much pre-occupied with sex and morality issues to the more or less complete exclusion of everything else.
ReplyDeleteThanks for pointing that out, Budd. I'll see what I can do about expanding my repetoire.
ReplyDeleteThe in-depth research and follow-up into each individual subject is what is so outstanding about this blog ; it's so much more interesting than getting a single opinion post on a subject that is never returned to.
ReplyDeleteBut I've obviously walked into what must be a private joke.
When I followed the link to Budd's Blog to see what a more expanded repertoire looks like, I discovered that Budd has posted exactly three items since last June and they are all on the subject of his disagreement with "rabble".
