#1 A couple more states and there would be enough for a constitutional amendment agianst gay marriage.

#2 Gay marriage is like the death penalty, the ruling caste won't permit the unwashed masses from of having their say on it. Our 'betters' will use other means to overcome the wishes of the people. When you talk term limits on politicians, remember to throw in term limits on federal judges as well.

#3 Maine became the 31st state to reject same-sex marriage at the ballot box.

Perhaps another way of phrasing that would be to say that Maine reaffirmed that the majority of Americans prefer the traditional definition of marriage as one man and one woman. Of course, it also reaffirms that Sean Penn believes all of America should be ashamed because he sees it is a nation of bigots.

#4 It would be cool (although probably unconstitutional) to have a ballot proposition proposing Gay Marriage, lots of traffic cameras and lots more affirmative action all as part of the same proposition.
