 ==Political culture==
-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. Republicans control both chambers of the state legislature. Their two United States Senator's are also Republicans. The only statewide [[Democratic]] Arizona officials was Ex-[[Governor]] [[Janet Napolitano]] and 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.
