Romney Wants Gay-Marriage Ban on Mass. Ballot BOSTON, Nov. 19 — Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney R said Sunday that he will ask the states highest court this week to order a ballot question on same-sex marriage if legislators fail to vote on the matter when they reconvene in January. Oh, not THAT again! Just when you thought this issue would die down until the next election cycle. Or wait, duh… Romney's probably gonna run. Gotta rally that base! Push the button! DISCLAIMER: I grew up non-LDS in Utah, and will always be irked by holier-than-thou types.
