it's after midnight and we're down by more than 20,000 votes. In Maine, that's more than we can recover from the remaining 20% of precincts left to report.
"It" is not over. This stage, maybe, but it's not the first time we've had a setback. "It" is going to happen eventually, and they won't be able to stop us.
I am not sorry. I am damn pissed off. Somehow Holier than Thou knuckle draggers from out of state managed to mobilize enough brain dead Mainers to override one of the few sensible laws I have seen the legislature pass.
As Mel says, it's not over. It will happen. Small consolation right now I know.
I'm very sorry too. We both got out there & voted, but I expected P-town to win the vote. I am angry and saddened and hope equal rights will be won in the near future. Sending you virtual hugs.
I know you put a lot of time and energy into to this effort. Things didn't work out this time. Take a rest and get your head cleared out-then prepare to do battle once again. Be rest assured that there are people who are supporting your efforts.
These are the ramblings of a cranky, middle-aged lesbian building contractor on the coast of Maine. I am opinionated as hell and argumentative most days. I like to cook, build things, opine about politics and the state of the world, and occasionally sew. I dabble in welding and would like to be better at it than I am. I am patient only as long as I am so inclined and have nothing else to do. I am often wrong, but never in doubt. I hold the world and myself to unreasonably high standards. You might not like it. Too bad.
Some of what is in this blog is probably inaccurate as hell. My memory is faulty. I try my best, but mistakes will be made. If my version of events does not exactly match your memories of those events, get your own blog and write about it there.

Oh honey, I'm so sorry. So very very sorry.
How utterly despicable. I am so sorry.

One battle lost - it's not over.
