Comments on: Maine House Vote on Marriage Today http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2009/05/05/11097 News, analysis and fact-checking of anti-gay rhetoric Sun, 14 Mar 2010 14:02:15 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Ephilei http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2009/05/05/11097/comment-page-1#comment-40001 Ephilei Tue, 05 May 2009 19:03:20 +0000 http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/?p=11097#comment-40001 The polls are within the margin of error and I believe some data gives marriage a slight lead. It take a few weeks or months to happen, right? In the past month, 9 of every 100 Americans changed their minds. I can see that in a few more weeks, 1 or 2 more percent of Maine residents change their mind too and tip the scales. I'm not worried.
