Which states should we concentrate on? Re: Gay Marriage Amendment
Advertisements [?]
OK, in order for this thing to become law, it has to pass the House and Senate with a 2/3'rds supermajority and then be approved by 38 state legislatures.

This means that, in order to defeat it, we simply have to get 13 states to reject it outright. So which 13 states should we concentrate on? Which 13 have legislators progressive enough to tell Bush where to shove it? Aside from the governors (who don't get a say), how liberal or conservative is the legislature in your home state, and do you think this amendment has any chance there?

I'd say that California, New York, and Mass. will obviously reject this thing, so we only need 10 more.
