MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Vermont has become the fourth state to legalize gay marriage — and the first to do so with a legislature's vote.

The Legislature voted Tuesday to override Gov. Jim Douglas' veto of a bill allowing gays and lesbians to marry. The vote was 23-5 to override in the state Senate and 100-49 to override in the House. Under Vermont law, two-thirds of each chamber had to vote for override.

The more states that allow gays to marry, make it more likely that the Republicans will nominate a strongly religious candidate in 2012. Religious candidates don't have much appeal outside of the party's religious base. So if this keeps happening, Republicans will loose badly in 2012.

Why would they nominate a strongly religious candidate in 2012 then? To lose?

I guess it depends on what the campaign issues are in 2012. The GOP traditional base puts social issues on the front line, and those only have traction when there isn't something pressing issue (like a tanking economy) to take the focus off of them.

Yeah! #### the holy institution of marriage!

We're not talking about the holy institution of marriage. We're talking about the civil institution of marriage.

Also, the Governor vetoed it.

What would happen if Alabama approves of gay marriages? Does that mean a guy can marry his father or his brother?

Well, look at this way: no inbred children.

That's just how they roll.

Riiiight. Because they are all idiots and want to lose by going against popular opinion and nominating an unpopular candidate. Got it.

It will likely be a candidate very popular in the Republican party. Take Palin for example. Very popular among the christian conservatives, very few people within that group saw how limited her appeal was outside of the group.

Don't kid yourself, Palin will be this country's first female President.
