I never would have thought a heavy turnout in a deep blue state like Maryland would be a good thing. But after reading your post, not so sure. Any word on the turnout in heavy Dem strongholds in Baltimore?
I am really encouraged to hear your report.
My guess is that the same-sex versus traditional marriage issue being on your state ballot is also juicing up voter interest. If we can get Romney to reach even 45%, I’d be thrilled.
I suspect that in the blue parts of Maryland, many black voters will split their ballot by voting for traditional marriage but still pulling the lever of Obama. I do think that similar referendums on traditional marriage will help us in Minnesota, which is more Caucasian and less likely to have voters who support traditional marriage but also Obama.
