Yes on 1 Campaign in Maine Looks Like Prop 8 Re-Run

Maine is the latest battleground for same-sex marriage, with voters deciding next month whether to approve a measure overturning their state Legislature's decision in May to legalize such marriages. The campaign for the measure, known as Question 1, looks like a rerun of last year's Proposition 8 in California, which struck down same-sex marriage. TV ads for the measure are the work of the Sacramento firm of Schubert Flint Public Affairs, which ran the successful California campaign. On the other side of the Maine campaign, same-sex marriage supporters see the similar campaigns as a boon. They've learned from the missteps of the campaign against Prop. 8 and are responding to ads against same-sex marriage within 36 hours.
