SSM AND MASS. ELECTIONS: An emailer to Andrew Sullivan's site

Yesterday was primary day in Massachusetts and it was a good day for marriage equality. Every incumbent who voted for equality and who faced an opponent won. In addition, two anti-equality incumbents lost to equality challengers. Neither will face an opponent in November. And a pro-equality candidate won an open seat being vacated by an anti-equality representative.In a related couple of stories, today's polls in the Boston Globe show that gay marriage is not high on the voters' priority list here and that Gov. Romney's popularity continues a slow but steady decline. Maybe because of this, Romney has been saying that gay marriage will not be a Republican theme in this year's November elections here. He has decided that Republicans have a wide range of opinions on the topic and it is best left to each individual to decide. Sounds to me like he's discovered that anti-marriage equality is a loosing proposition here.
