Well, we LOST, just like I predicted. We always lose when we are suposedly “tied” in the polls, close to the election.
People respond to negative ads. When the opposition has the luxury of simply making up outlandish, scary, horrible chicken little stories…I don’t see how we can win.
I really hope that YET ANOTHER loss with the public is key in eventually proving to the FEDERAL COURTS that WE are indeed a “disfavored minority”! We are not currently viewed as a “disfavored minority” in the eyes of the court system.
A positive ruling for us in the current federal challenge to the constitutionality of Prop 8 will largely hinge on whether or not we are deemed to be a “disfavored minority”, the judge in the case has pretty much said so.
It is traditionally the courts role to step in and protect a “disfavored minority” from mob tyranny.
Doesn’t look good in Maine.
Unless there are a bunch of left leaning urban precincts left to report, it looks lost. Its a bad year for any left leaning issues…..
Bryan,
The local papers in Washington said they are not going to put numbers up until 8 pm (Seattle time). I’ll link soon.
Anyone heard from Washington state?
Maine people seem to think we’re going to edge out ahead. But ugh – too close for my taste. If this goes to a recount I will scream.
Looks like Cumberland Country (Maine’s most populous county, includes Portland) will have to carry it for the rest of the state. Hope there are lots more votes uncounted there than elsewhere…
Well I was told that there are five country’s that could go either way is this true?
Worried too. We keep going down the more precincts that report.
