In more recent years, the [[Republican Party]] has generally dominated Arizona politics. In 2004, President [[George W. Bush]] won the state's ten electoral votes by a margin of 10 percentage points with 55% of the vote, and in 2008 [[John McCain]] won the state with 54% of the vote. Republicans control both chambers of the state legislature. Their two [[United States Senator]]s are Republican. The only statewide official in Arizona that's a member of the [[Democratic Party]] is Attorney General Terry Goddard. However, Arizona became the first U.S. state to vote against an anti-gay marriage amendment in the 2006 midterm elections. Although [[gay marriage]] is still illegal in Arizona, this amendment would have abolished civil unions and domestic partnerships for [[homosexual]] couples.
