We lost in Maine

AP has called the race in Maine. No on 1 lost:

Maine voters have torpedoed a state law that would have allowed gay couples to marry. With 84 percent of the precincts reporting, gay-marriage foes had 53 percent of the vote Tuesday.

The outcome amounts to a heartbreaking defeat for the gay rights movement -- particularly since it occurred in New England, the corner of the country most supportive of gay marriage.
Needless to say, we're very, very disappointed. Hate won.

I'll have more to say after I get some sleep.
