Let's hope Maine goes for legalized pot this November

For the century from 1832 to 1932, Maine became famous for the tagline "As Maine goes, so goes the nation". This was due to its early September voting on statewide offices before the November presidential election. Maine's early voting presaged to winning presidential party in 19 of 26 elections, creating the catchy line. In 1957, Maine changed its state elections back to November, costing Maine its prognosticator reputation. This November, Maine voters can legalize recreational use of marijuana. Sure would be nice if a 'YES' vote for pot could create the new tagline, "As Maine tokes...so tokes the nation".
