Most people don't attention to individual votes - he's associated with the DOMA party and guilty by association, so to speak.
Although I think that taking a noticeable stand on an issue opens one up further. Maybe it's because he's not "our" congressman, but up here the mayor of Spokane got way more vile than Foley's getting because the mayor had such a public anti-gay stance.
