Same sex marriage probably won't pass, the bigoted white people and bigoted black people will finally find something they agree on.
It's only a matter of time anyway, I doubt we'll be waiting more than 10 years for this.

The casino is probably the big one, I have no idea if that will pass.

MD Dream Act is the least significant, I'd bet anyone here there will be a national Dream Act of sorts passed by 2016 rendering this one mostly moot.
Maybe you should look at some polling numbers before you jump to conclusions....that conveniently allow you to call other people names.

Totally agree. Marylanders chose their future in that one. All of today's issues are minute details.

As I said before, this vote will depend largely on the black democrats in PG & Baltimore City and because of that, I'll believe it when I see it considering some people say one thing and really do the opposite on election day.

I don't care about gay marriage, but I'm voting against it just to pay back all the liberals who have been shltting on me and every other taxpayer for the last ten years.

Any chance I get to spite our one party rulers, I'm gonna take.

I'm not saying it definitely won't get thru but liberal California couldn't push it thru while it consistently polled ahead. PPP is the liberal equivalent to Rasmussen, it has a bias toward Democrats because it's used as a fundraising tool same as Rasmussen is for the right. Obama will easily beat Romney in the state but not every Obama voter will vote to keep gay marriage. I hope you're correct but it won't slide thru as effortlessly as that poll makes it seem.

So your putting politics above civil rights; sounds messed up if you ask me but to each there own I guess.

Prop 8 was passed due to the Black Church.

What taxes--from your paper route? You're a teenager kiddo--a little young to be outraged over the pretty much non-existent amount that you're paying into the IRS, even if you do have a part time or summer job.
