One of these Senators is not like the others...

Over at Abiola's blog I saw a list of Republican Senators who voted to block the marriage amendment as follows: Snowe, Maine, Collins, Maine, Sununu, New Hampshire, Chafee, Rhode Island, Campbell, Colorado, McCain, Arizona.

Below are the lifetime (this explains McCain) ratings for each Senator from the AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE UNION and AMERICANS FOR DEMOCRATIC ACTION (liberal):

                  ACUADA
Collins 56 45
Snowe 51 55
Chafee 44 65
Campbell 54 30
McCain 84 35
Sununu 95 15

Doesn't Sununu kind of stand out? He is already kind of weird for a Senator because of his youth (he's 39) and he as an undergrad and masters degree in mechanical engineering from MIT. Anyway, I suppose his ACU rating will take a dive. What does this social liberal turncoat have to say?

"Defining marriage is a power that should be left to the states," Sununu said in a statement following the vote. "Moreover, no state should be forced to recognize a marriage that is not within its own laws, Constitution, and legal precedents.
