amendment one according to the associated press will pass. it not only doubly bans already banned gay marriage but denies any sort of legal recognition to any form of bond between an unmarried couple. there had been, i think, wishful thinking on the part of the no on one forces that the change in opinion polling on the issue of same sex marriage rights might make north carolina an exception to this horrible losing streak that gay rights have. is it impossible to imagine that a statewide ballot measure could ever go the other direction or is this something where the polling numbers can presage future different outcomes? >> i think it can in certain instances and certain states. at the national level there was a gallup poll that said it's 50% in favor of gay marriage. 48% opposed. that's nationally. when you start looking at swing states that are more conservative, north carolina being one of them, that number is going to fall lower. it's going to fall lower in ohio. it's going to be higher in place like new jersey. chris christie has been forc
