These people have a history of overcounting.

In Albany on Wednesday, proponents had believed going into the vote that they could attract as many as 35 supporters to the measure; at their most pessimistic, they said they would draw at least 26.

Both, but a HUGE Cuomo victory -- nowhere else has anyone got gay marriage passed on the back of Republican legislators flip-flopping to support gay marriage

I wonder if there's a map deal that will protect the NY GOP State Senate from oblivion.

That's a silly comparison though -- that was people overcounting votes that were privately said off the record.

All of the current votes counted for gay marriage come from elected officials who have said, on the record and in the press, time and time again, that they will support this bill.

Any politician who flips can also obviously flop when pressured by the correct people.

What's up with that guy in Buffalo who is as doomed next election as Cao was? If he's going to try he could make an appeal to Moderate Hero-esque Democrats. If he votes against it he'll just be seen as a typical Republican.

There appear to be a lot of blacks in that district. Doubt he's looking for the white latte liberal vote.
