Already? That seems really quick considering how long it was projected to last.

Yeah, seeing male legislatures holding back their tears in stoic Minnesota is incredibly moving. I'm going to remember watching this for the rest of my life. :911: :minnesota:

MN is a devoutly low-drama state when it comes to politics.

Minnesota doesn't actually have that many crazy people. "Minnesota nice" is an actual thing and older residents take pride in it. Bachmann really is an outlier.

Good noise. The people I know who made it down say that they outnumber the bad guys by a comfortable margin.

Clark will finish it off as the main sponsor, then a vote I'd reckon.

I think they assumed there'd be more opposition and a lot more speeches from them.

Low-drama state. We reward succinctness and punish egotistical grandstanding.

The last minute amendment that changed it to "civil marriage" probably took a bunch of the objections out.

Minnesota is going to stop discriminating so gay people can go get married.

Some GOP crossed the aisle, it wasn't even close. MN will be the 12th state to legalize gay marriage by the middle of next week.

I saw Fitzsimmons voted yes, any other GOP? I forgot to take a screenshot.

Edit: DFL only has 73 in house so it must have had several GOP supporters, good deal.

They had 75 votes so they picked up at least 2 or 3 more.

That's a little wrong.

The latest the vote will happen is Monday, and the Governor will likely sign it day-of. It's happening long before mid-next week.

They've said over and over again they have at least the minimum, and it's a Dem majority just like the House. It's happening.

FitzSimmons, Loon, and Garofalo. FitzSimmons was considered a probable "Yes" after the cosmetic change to "Civil Marriage" was made yesterday.
