Maine is now the fifth state in which same-sex marriage is allowed. "Maine Gov. John Baldacci... who hadn't indicated how he would handle his state's bill, quickly signed it." New Hampshire's legislature is expected to send a bill to their governor on Wednesday legalizing same-sex marriage. This would solidify New England with only Rhode Island not allowing same-sex marriage. Rhode Island has a bill that has been introduced, but it is not expected to pass.

Obama wins Maine, too
I don't think this one is unexpected, but Obama's win in Maine completes the clean sweep of this weekend. Next question, does this mean unstoppable momentum or allow Clinton to claim "underdog" in order to win sympathy votes?

Romney wins Maine Caucuses
The choice of many Mod-Bloggers appears to have won the Pine Tree State rather handily. Of course, not many Republicans bothered to campaign there, not because of allergies to Lobster or New England wit, but because they focussed on the lucrative Super Tuesday states. Still, this win may produce some momentum going into next week.
The only big news is that Ron Paul supporters had been pushing Maine as "the one state that Ron Paul will definitely win." Too bad for America's OB-GYN.
