Lots of buzz about the Constitutional Convention. Vote counters say the anti-gay marriage contingent have the one quarter of the legislators plus a couple that it will take to force the measure onto the ballot. But my knowledgeable friends say there are quite a few of that number who want to publicly bluster on behalf of current constituency but privately would be more than happy for a maneuver that allows them not to vote against the roar of history.<\/div>\n
Of course, polls also say that should the measure go on the ballot, a solid majority of the good citizens of Massachusetts are not going to vote to take marriage away from a minority. But, of course, that would be an ugly fight with lots of out of state money coming in blistering the airwaves with serious unpleasantness. And one never knows how it\u2019ll all actually turn out.<\/div>\n

So, the day is over, and now it\u2019s time to send a note to a local politician\u2026<\/div>\n
