Fate of Same-Sex Marriage Bill in Albany Unclear
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/09/nyregion/09marriage.html?partner=rss&emc=rss

Those who favor the bill say they realize they are risking another significant defeat but are determined to get legislators on record on the issue. They also say that now may be the best time to push lawmakers to take up the bill, given that next year all 212 members of the Legislature will face re-election.


Estimates vary, but supporters of the bill believe they can count on about 25 votes for the legislation at this time.
