2. The Assembly vote is a fait accompli, and the Senate vote looks good too.
:woohoo:

6. Well, I'm NOT sure, it just looks that way to me from listening to local(NYC) Dems talking.

7. Don't count on it. We've lost a lot of moderate Dems.
I would not expect this to make it past the state senate. If it does, well, pleasant surprise. But let's not presume.

8. I would also say that if there is one issue that the R's don't vote as a block on this year,
this will be it.

10. We've picked up a few moderate Rs, but not enough to make up the margin.
At least, that's as of the last counts that I heard.

9. Tedisco just said the dictionary affirms different-sex marriage
Go to Webster's dictionary, he says, and it will talk about a marriage between the different sexes.

Someone should show him Merriam-Webster's years-old definition of marriage. :)

15. I'm never really sure what to call it.
How about "unhappy marriage", since it's not "gay"?

18. Well, I've had three
that fit that definition. My lady and I have no plans to do it, that might 'jinx' us!

13. Wow, Rivera is an interesting character.
I couldn't figure out if he was on our side or not until he explicitly said he was at the end.
