1. There was a daily kos post on this a few days ago
I believe there was a daily kos post explaining why a repeal of marriage equality is much less likely in New Hampshire. There's 2 reasons why.

1) The governor has said he'd veto a bill to repeal gay marriage, which means they'd need like two thirds of each house to vote to override his veto, which seems quite unlikely.

2) Passing a gay marriage ban amendment is equally tough, I think it needs 2/3's support from the legislature to go on the ballot first (might be wrong about the numbers the legislature needs, but it definitely needs to go through them first), and then it was either 60% or 2/3's of the voters have to approve of the amendment, which I would think would be a very difficult task for the bigots.
