Doug Clark: "I will vote against this amendment."

More from the conservative-leaning editorialist:

I predict a very close vote -- which adds up to a loss for the Republican sponsors of this amendment whether the final tally shows a narrow win or a loss. By forcing this vote, rather than leaving well enough alone, they have put the state through a wrenching campaign and -- as PPP polling shows -- weakened overall opposition to same-sex marriage or civil unions.
