A tie this close shouldn’t be a problem. Gay “marriage” polls always under poll and the antis get stronger as the vote gets closer. Even in deep blue Maine it should pass 53 /47. How it does in the expected court challenge is a different story.
Maine isn’t really a deep blue state. It is a deep independent state. The problem in Maine is the lack of GOP machine not the lack of potential voters. The same can be said for many of the NE states. They are far more conservative than given credit the problem is if you let the Democrats have the field then how do we expect the game to go? I believe even in Massachusetts gay marriage would be overturned if the battle were waged effectively. There has never been a majority support for gay marriage or the homosexual agenda. The only time the support increases is when we quit fighting.
