Canuckistan,

Since I predicted that:

a) Obama would win by a significant measure; and

b) there would be no serious issues involving voting fraud

I feel that I am on a roll.

I am almost certain that the either the Supreme Court California or, if not they, the Supreme Court of the United States, will knock down Proposition 8.

On the Federal level, there are two routes to destroy Proposition 8.

One is the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment. The second is the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. It is more likely the court will avail itself of the EPC, but thanks to Loving v VA, the Court may also find marriage to be a fundamental right, triggering a Due Process analysis.

At any rate, I expect such state laws to be challenged at the Federal level.

HOWEVER, it seems as if gay rights activists want to win this one on the ground and at the ballot box. They understand that demographics are with them.

I hope you're right.
I hope the senate reaches 60.

Some church leaders were fundamentally dishonest by preaching to their flocks that with the passage of Prop 8, same-sex marriage would be explicitly taught to their children in school.

Southern white church leaders played much the same role against the advancement of civil rights for blacks. After their sermons you'd find some dead the next day.

In too many places that mentality still has not been changed:
