Marriage will be the last item on the calendar. These people will make history tonight.
UPDATE @ 8:39 PM, some timing info, via State of Politics:
All signs point to a relatively early vote. There’s a sense the Senate Republicans want to quickly move through the vote and many “no” votes won’t be making lengthy statements.
One Democratic lawmaker says the marriage vote won’t come until 9 at the earliest, with a final vote at around 11.
And, turn down the sound during the recess. They’re playing bad musak, but when they come back…it’s the marriage bill!. Listen for Senate Bill 5857.
A crowd is gathering in front of the Stonewall Inn. Scott Wooledge is there — and taking photos:
And, here’s one from Paul Yandura, who said the crowd is getting huge:
Joe Sudbay
On October 27, 2010, Joe was one of five bloggers who interviewed President Obama. Joe is a DC-based political consultant with over twenty-five years of experience at both the state and federal level. Joe has managed political operations and legislative efforts for both candidates and issues-based organizations. For seven years, he was the Director of State Legislation at Handgun Control, Inc. He served as that organization's first Political Director during the 2000 cycle. Joe is a graduate of the University of Maine School of Law. In addition, he has a Masters in Public Administration from Lehigh University and received his B.A. from the University of New Hampshire. Joe also has a fun dog, Petey, a worthy successor to Boomer, who got Joe through eight years of Bush and Cheney. Joe likes to think he is a world class athlete having finished the 2005 Chicago Marathon in the time of 4:10. He has completed six other marathons as well -- and is still determined to break the four hour mark.
