++After holding secret meetings and receiving complaints from the Chamber of Commerce and being threatening with losing the Super Bowl, Jan Brewer vetoed the anti-gay bill because it was "too broadly worded" , did not deal with any problem relating to religious freedom, and would have unintended consequences.
++Still, the rash of anti-gay bills under the rubric of religious liberty continues with efforts in Missouri,Oklahoma,Hawaii,Mississippi,Ohio, Nevada,Utah,Oregon,and Tennessee.
++In 2000 and then in 2004, Republicans also had a rash of anti-same sex marriage initiatives to mobilize their base. The question is whether the same holds this year or are the Republicans too divided on the issue of gay rights?
