According to today's Boston Globe,
"Massachusetts residents, by a solid margin, said they supported the Supreme Judicial Court's landmark decision legalizing gay marriage, according to a Boston Globe/WBZ-TV poll.
The poll of 400 people, the first survey of Bay State residents since the court's historic ruling, indicated that 50 percent agreed with the justices' decision, and 38 percent opposed it. Eleven percent expressed no opinion."
Ha! That should serve Mitt about right.

This is nice to read - but note that sqrt(400)/400 is 5% so the result isn't statistically significant (to say nothing of systematic uncertainties).

This all reminds me of the fall of the Berlin Wall. It's like something that people were working for and hoping for for years and then all of a sudden, a chain of events brought it down while even the most involved players stood somewhat dumbfounded at its swiftness.
Just like the fall of the Berlin Wall, though, when there came an anti-climatic, tougher than expected, period in which the reality of the landscape revealed itself, I suspect the cost for this advance has yet to be seen.
