According to the Washington Times, all 11 of the measures put directly to the voters to define marriage as one man & one woman are expected to pass. In some states, such as Utah and Arkansas, this is not surprising in the least.

However, it is also expected to pass in Ohio, Michigan, and Oregon.

Are these states overrun with "homophobes" (to quote another poster who characterized over 2 million Californians who passed THEIR marriage initiative resoundingly) as well? If so, then why aren't they solidly in the "red" camp?
