Poll of NY Senators Suggests Too Few Votes to Pass Gay Marriage

"They simply don't have the votes to pass same-sex marriage." In all, 27 say no to Governor Paterson's bill to make New York the sixth state legalizing gay marriage. Twenty are in favor, all Democrats, mostly from the five boroughs. Ten are undecided, half Republicans, half Democrats. Five just won't say. Full Story from Capital News 9 - Click Here
