Confronted with early returns showing Floridians voting for Obama and against same-sex marriage, Mike Riggs explains "a large chunk of North Florida's Bible-beating hillbillies decided they were fine with letting a black man write off the mortgages on their trailers and give them free health care, but not with allowing their neighbors in the rest of the state to marry." He goes on to lament, "It's amazing (and sad) to see which of their prejudices people are able to ignore when their own self-interests are at stake." Or when they think their prejudices are enlightenment.
