Proposition 8, One of California's Costliest Campaigns

California is going through one of the most expensive campaigns in United States history as both proponents and opponents of Proposition 8 have been pouring in millions of dollars to either attack or support gay marriage.

In the state of California, the issue of gay marriage has become a hot topic. There has been a fierce campaign for and against Proposition 8. But what is Proposition 8? Proposition 8 is a law proposed by those against gay marriage. If that becomes law, Proposition 8 will be a state constitution that bans gay marriage in California. However, gay marriage was legalized in California in June. So far, there are plenty in California that are not happy with legalized gay marriage. As a result, there have been much cash being poured into the campaign for Proposition 8. In short, both proponents and opponents of Proposition 8 are extremely passionate about the issue. There are plenty that want to see gay marriage remain legalized in California. At the same time, there are plenty that want to see a constitutional ban on it. However, it looks like gay marriage is one of the hottest domestic social issues this year. Not long ago, the Connecticut Supreme Court had given the ruling that gay marriages were legal. However, the ruling only gives same-sex couples state recognition and benefits. On a much higher level, there is an internal disagreement within the campaign of GOP Presidential nominee Senator John McCain of Arizona. Over the weekend, McCain’s VP running-mate Alaska Governor Palin spoke out about gay marriage during in interview with David Brody of the Christian Broadcast Network (CBN). So far, Palin wants a federal ban on gay marriage. McCain strongly opposes it and feels that it should be left to the states. In short, this is a hot social topic that both McCain and Palin disagree on.
