Maine isn't anything like California. There aren't any large metro areas. Portland is the largest and still it's small at pop. 64k. Mainers listen to other people in Maine, not anyone else. It's one of the least religious states in the country. No one understands the separation of Church and State like Northern New England...in a deep cultural and historical sense. I think the more the Catholic Church gets involved, the more it's going to turn off voters. Jane is spot on, and the No on 1 campaign is too. Maine isn't anything like California.

The margin of defeat was 4%. That was wayyyyyy higher in 2000. That only means that we are nearing our grasp and the time to repeal Prop 8 is now. What is important is that we support our straight allies like Jane Wishon to deliver marriage equality for all Americans as we battle No on 1 in Maine and Prop 8 in 2010. *hugs* and blessings to you!

Hate to be negative but i never imagined that California would vote for discrimination.

I have never seen any straight ally so strongly committed like Jane Wishon. I honestly wish I had her tremendous energy and amazing optimism. I wish all people were as passionate and committed to activism like her. Jane Wishon is a role model to all of us out there who are struggling for civil rights! GO JANE! You REALLY should be the one marching in Washington D.C. Jane Wishon ROCKS! I have never seen any straight ally so strongly committed like Jane Wishon.
