Remarkably, Gay Marriage did better in Anne Arundel (Romney county) than Prince George's (89% Obama county)!

It really suggests that the way forward for gay marriage is outreach to business flavored conservatives...

Blacks may be part of the explanation, though Baltimore City was more pro-gay than PG. This also was the case in the state legislative vote. I would have thought that more well-off blacks in PG would have been more pro-gay.

IIRC, Alcon (or another Wash. poster) posted Wash's results by CD, though I can't find it.

New Jersey   most of the Dem voting districts

Given how closely divided even the GOP districts are in New Jersey, and how strongly New Jersey supports gay marriage, I wouldn't be surprised if marriage swept all 12 districts, if not 10 or 11.
