It will be interesting when the same sex marriage issue comes to a vote in July in the senate, how the democrat senators vote(for or against)in respect to same sex marriage, the democrats themselves may well create swing votes needed based on how they vote in July,
for the conservative republican fundementalists to win close elections, which would be a good thing, to end grid lock in the senate due to power abuses of filibuster powers by democrats, etc...
P.S. The democrat senators that want to get relected realize only a small percentage of the voters are gay, if they want to win in close elections, it will be interesting how they vote, sounds like its a possiblility that an amendment defining marriage will be an issue in the coming election, cause most people that are democrats/republicans are not gay, so how can these senators vote for the minority, when it may be a trump card for the republicans, that are in agreement with the majority of the American people both democrat and republican in respect to gay marriage issues in respect to close elections, etc...
