Maine gay marriage foes to use Calif. Prop 8 firm

3 hours ago
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Gay marriage opponents in Maine have hired the California public relations firm that led the successful Prop 8 proposal to overturn same-sex marriage.

Schubert Flint Public Affairs will manage the campaign to repeal Maine's gay marriage law, just as it did in California. Organizers of the veto effort are trying to collect the signatures of more than 55,000 registered Maine voters to put the question on the November ballot.

Meanwhile, supporters of Maine's gay marriage law have formed a new political action committee.

Veto's aren't the same as gay marriage ban amendments. The antigay-marriage forces have zero chance of passing a gay marriage ban amendment in Maine, because 2/3's of the state legislature has to approve of it first. Plus some of those recent graphs people have been posting showed gay marriage support just little bit shy of the 50% mark in Maine, so a people's veto vote will likely be about turnout.
