I think time/demographics are on our side on this issue. Hopefully, anyhow. Even here in Maryland, a thoroughly Democrat controlled state that has legalized gambling and same sex marriage is struggling to let go of the WoD. It's a hot topic in the current legislative session but the organizations that depend on the continued WoD for their jobs are putting up fierce resistance. It's "for the children", don't you know?

I'm really surprised that the Republicans, who are losing ground in the demographics changes, haven't stolen this issue from the Democrats and run with it. IMHO, ending the WoD is a "conservative" position.
