It's been a week since the legislatures in both Maine & New Hampshire approved same gender marriage. Maine's governor promptly signed it into law, but Gov. Lynch (D-NH) did not.

Now I've read that in NH the governor has 5 days while the legislature is in session to sign or veto; if not vetoed in that period, the bill becomes law without his signiture. I've been scanning the newswires this AM, but none seems to have anything about NH.

Anybody out there have any word? Is New Hampshire state #6??

Lynch is in TOUGH position, since NH Govs only have 2-year terms.

That means that he will be immediately in trouble with one side or another!

I'm hopeful that Maine's Gov growing a pair will give him cover!
