Marriage plays role in defeat of democrat candidate for Congress in NYC

In the upset victory by a Republican congressional candidate over the democrat candidate in a strongly democrat district, one issue which played a role was marriage. The democrat candidate David Weprin is a state legislator who voted in favor of redefining marriage in New York state earlier this year.

While voter discontent with President Obama's policies were a major concern, marriage did play a role.

The marriage issue will not go away.
