The GLBT Vote for Obama

http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2008/11/obama-outperforms-kerry-among-virtually.html

Nate outlines the demographics of the vote for Obama and breaks them down fairly well...

As he points out, Obama beats Kerry in almost every group...with one major exception.

The GLBT vote...

Obama underperformed Kerry by 7 points.  7 Points!

That's HUGE.

The question is...why?

Could it that there is some question regarding Obama's statements regarding same sex marriage that left a bad taste in the mouth of some voters?

This should be interesting to follow as more numbers come out.
