I wonder if the Prop loses in CA, will the church start to turn its eye to building literal Zion in Jackson County?
That might be an upside to this. |

Well, we know Monson is a racist and an anti-Semite, right?

Basically the root of LDS support for the South was their resentment of the federal govt. and the perceived oppression at their hands. I believe it was mostly "the enemy of our enemy is our friend" and not so much a complete consonance of philosophy with the South. |

My sense of it, and this is entirely non-scientific, is that the pro-prop 8 forces do nto have a great will to fight this battle and feel like it has been lost. I think the vote will be closer than the polls suggest, but I do tend to think it will lose.

this is a surprise to me as based on the last referendum and all the statements I had heard here, I though the pro- forces were favored.
