Proposition 8's Fallout

Fallout from Tuesday's election continues to ripple through the state, especially from Proposition 8. The gay marriage ban's passage has Californians as divided as ever over the issue. On Wednesday, opponents of Prop. 8 filed three lawsuits to block it -- and their anger spilled into the streets of Los Angeles and San Francisco. Guests: Alice Huffman, president of the NAACP's California chapter; Geoff Kors, executive director of the gay rights organization Equality California; Reverend Derrick McCoy, outreach director for the Yes on 8 campaign.
