As approval for Crist surges throughout the state, so does support for Amendment Two. According to a recent article in the Miami Herald, 55% of voters throughout Florida support a ban on same-sex marriage. While that is short of the 60% approval needed to amend the constitution, recent polls suggest that number is holding.
While another says it's all good in the Sunshine State:
A poll released Monday shows that a proposed amendment to ban same-sex marriage in Florida is likely to fail.The Quinnipiac University poll finds that 55 percent of voters support the amendment, but that is short of the 60 percent needed to amend the constitution. The latest poll shows a continuing drop in support for the amendment as opponents of the measure make voters aware of its broad implications.
So are we on top, or bottoming out down there? You guys with the journalism degrees, try to get your story, um, straight, will ya?

Amendment 2 if read correctly, in others by someone who can combine words into meaning, the Amendment in effect will also outlaw common law marriage and responsibility. Never mind that the filing smacks in the face of the U.S.Constitution and that whole "all men are created equal" thing. I have always taken that to mean, White, Black, Male female, gay and straight. Amendment 2 must fail. Florida is on a dangerous path to less rights not more.
