WASHINGTON - Senators from the Carolinas are evenly split on a proposed constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage.

In South Carolina, GOP Rep. Jim DeMint, an original sponsor of a House version of the amendment, supports it unconditionally.

So does his Democratic rival, Inez Tenenbaum, who is bucking the view in her own party.

"I believe the word `marriage' should be reserved for the union between a man and a woman," she said this year. "I would support a constitutional amendment that defines marriage as the union between a man and a woman."

1. Poor Inez

She has to say this to have a chance to get elected, but you know she doesn't believe it. This is nothing more than the repubs looking for another wedge issue.
