Another Republican Plan I Don't Understand

Morning Edition:

"In 2010, the voters — particularly in New Hampshire — said, 'Government, get out of our lives,' " Mehlman says. " 'Live free or die,' to coin a phrase. So, I think the biggest concern I would have if I were a state official would be, 'I am ignoring the will of the people of New Hampshire.' "
Recent polls show New Hampshire voters oppose repealing gay marriage by a roughly 2-to-1 margin, but conservative Republicans see the repeal vote as a litmus test.
"I will do anything financially permissible and legally permissible to make socially liberal Republican legislators accountable," says Ted Maravelias, chairman of a New Hampshire political action committee that's raising money to oppose members of the GOP who vote to support same-sex marriage.

The story says Republicans have veto-proof majorities in both houses of the legislature.  If they railroad the repeal of gay marriage through, will they continue to have such majorities.  Anti-gay marriage folks love to point to the fact they've never lost a referendum.  My guess is that they will soon.  Republicans might want to take public opinion into consideration.  The bishops may be happy with them, but voters might not be.
