Poll: 52 Percent Support Maine Gay Marriage Law, But Opponents Are Gaining

"They're against abortion and they're against homosexuals. Well who has less abortions than homosexuals?"

New England is the region of the country that is most favorably disposed to gay marriage, and if Obama wins Maine by 15 pts as expected, I think this measure should pass, albeit by a narrower marginto ban gay marriage.. Hard to imagine that many Mainers are going to vote for Obama while also voting against marriage equality.

They may require everyone to marry in a church. Go through faith marriage counseling even if it is not their faith. Require children to be baptized.

will win with their hateful world view.

I've actually received a few calls from people taking surveys, inquiring as to whether I support gay marriage. I always answer strongly in the affirmative. So far, every call has been from a campaign supporting it. I'm encouraged by their efforts and by the information campaign going on right now - though it's somewhat less popular here in Aroostook County.

One thing I'll say about my fellow Mainers... they tend to be very down to earth people, in general, most of the people I know are also highly in favor of individual freedom. Generally, I suspect that if you asked even most of our republicans, they'd tell you that who a person wants to marry is their own business and that they should have the right to marry who they will.

I'll be living close to a local University where I go to school, so I'm really going to have an opportunity to get involved more involved in the campaign which is already doing great things and working hard there. I'm hoping that, after the embarrassment of electing that asshole LePage, we can start to make up for it by proving we're not all complete morons. No, there's a lot of great people in my state... LePage only actually won because the vote was very divided between three candidates.

We'll see, but I have faith in my state to do the right thing in this case.
