Maine Governor Signs Gay Marriage Bill

Updating a post from earlier today, Maine Gov. John Baldacci, a Democrat, signed a same-sex marriage bill into law today, making Maine the fifth state in the country to allow gay nuptials.

That leaves just two New England states - New Hampshire and Rhode Island - without a gay marriage law. And New Hampshire's governor should have the opportunity to pull his state of that short list in a matter of days - or even hours - with same-sex marriage legislation working its way to his desk.
