And your last statement there is such a joke I'm actually laughing. Electoral votes elect Presidents, and they're given to each state based on the number of representatives each state has in Congress, which is ultimately reflective of the populations of those states. Because more than three-quarters of the U.S. population lives in and around urban areas, states with the largest concentrations of such areas have the most representatives in Congress, receive the most electoral votes, and ultimately greatly influence to whom those electoral votes are given when a state is won, it's actually people voting as they will who elect Presidents.
Long story short, 250 million Americans live in or around urban areas, so saying the "rest of the country is a solid majority of states with majority opposition to gay marriage" is a blatant disregard of the facts. That being said, not all of those people support gay marriage - but then again, you're still wrong, because 52% of the country, when last polled, supports same-sex marriage, so where you're getting this "majority" nonsense is beyond me.
You're highly opinionated on this, but if you want your way you need to learn what its going to take to get it. Not just chortle insults at people who point out obvious impediments.
Read my post again if you're confused. Or simply disregard my observations and just continue to prostrate yourself on Obama's altar all for his nice, cheap, useless words.
