I think they do not want to rock the boat until after the Obama/Clinton ticket (Clinton/Obama??) defeats the McCain/(insert religious right candidate here) ticket.

Indeed, now that California has declared SSM's legal they will be ahead of us in their advancement of equality. I hope we evacuate this 1913 law, which finds it's roots ironically in trying to prevent interracial marriages back then. Massachusetts has to be constantly testing and redefining democracy if we are to maintain our status as leaders in the free world. How perfectly put!
