If liberals are color blind, why don't they treat the 70% of BLACKS the same way they do every other group thats predominantly anti-gay marriage? While I suspect that there may be a direct correlation between the higher black turnout and the passage of the ballot message, the Mormon opposition was very visible, tangible and effective.
