NJ: Could a Republican Help Bring Gay Marriage to New Jersey?

Contrary to popular belief, New Jersey's same sex marriage equality legislation isn't dead yet. When the bill cleared the state Senate Judiciary Committee last month, marriage equality supporters didn't see the votes in the full body and decided to move it in the state Assembly first to create some momentum. But though they have the votes, the Assembly leadership wasn't going to play along. They insisted the Senate vote first (and have promised to move the bill on Monday if it clears the upper chamber). The Senate votes Thursday. Currently, there are five Democratic Senators voting no. That means at least three Republicans are needed to pass. Right now, there is only one -- which is still one more than the New York state Senate had.
