First for the bad news.

Purdue is still under water and still under water among intense voters.

Now for some decent news

The Republican legislature is also under water
strongly disapprove 19.6 disapprove 21.6 total disapproval 41.2
strongly approve 6.9 approve 31.9 total approval 38.8

Clearly this isn't some wide eyed group of liberals that were polled.

Now for the amazing news.

rights for same sex couples

Constitutional amendment

Not only do we have an 16 point lead on total voters but we have a 9 point lead among intense voters. Amazing numbers for NC.

2. If they elect a RW gov and leg in 2012 they won't care what people think

They will enact their hate legislation anyway. People need to understand they are part of a package.
