Pretty sure you have that backwards or typed 54 instead of 44.

Minnesota site is falling behind, but it's 56% against with 30% in.

NC was bad but Republicans put their thumb on the scales by forcing a vote in May with a very competitive GOP primary rather than November.
We probably would have lost tonight but we scared them enough to take the cheap victory.

Who called it? I've been watching the numbers on the Bangor Daily News website as the results have started trickling in. We were holding a narrow 2-3% lead, but as soon as the 12 Portland precincts were added, it jumped to 7.46%. 38% of the precincts have yet to be counted -- a fair mix of left and right leaning towns, but I'm still concerned.

Think of the good things, Pim! The good things!

Like Jesus, candy, and crackerjacks! Ice cream and cake and lots o'laffs!
Grandma, Grandpa, and Uncle Joe! Larry, Curly, and brother Moe!
This is what we call "moving the goalposts."

quote:

But opponents said they were confident that the majority of the country believes that marriage should be restricted to one man and one woman despite some competitive races this year.

“The big difference is that we are in four deep-blue states,” said Brian Brown, president of National Organization for Marriage, which has been successful in many state campaigns, most of which involved writing bans into state constitutions.

Really? I thought the narrative was that same-sex marriage could never win at the ballot box anywhere and that all polls showing otherwise, national or state-level, were a mirage created by social desirability bias? It's kinda loving hard to claim that there's no national trend towards supporting marriage equality when a state that voted against it (Maine) just three years ago is now passing it into law.

...oh, and let's not forget the part about same-sex marriage being political suicide for Obama.

And with 71% now reporting, so has the BDN. I was just really worried it would be a repeat of the last time, when a bunch of small, rural towns came in late and cost us on the veto.
