Have they started claiming that a no vote is for "mandatory" gay marriage like they did in California?

That was pretty close, but No is up a little more now.

No   123,756   51%
   Yes   120,916   49%

However, only 41% is in. 59% still out 3 hours after polls close?

Sadly it's currently up by the same 52-48 margin that Prop. 8 passed by.

It appears that this did better than the 52.24% that Prop. 8 got. I guess California is the most enlightened of the states that have voted on gay marriage.

And rightfully so, as we've just democratized the right of personal freedom in this nation. And if you were remotely committed to the concept of small government as you pretend to be, you would be, too.

True, when interracial marriage was legalized, it was far less popular than gay marriage is today.

Wow, why'd it do so well in Aroostock county? Obama won that county by 10 points, while Question 1 did worse in Piscataquis, McCain's sole county in all of New England. And Canada has gay marriage.
