Marriage Amendment Backers Hopes Dim

One can only hope. From the Pioneer Press:

A key backer of the constitutional amendment to define marriage as the union of one man and one woman said Wednesday he thinks it's dead for this legislative session.

Jeff Davis of Minnesota Citizens in Defense of Marriage said he believes the soonest Minnesotans would be able to vote on the marriage amendment is 2008, and he is shifting his focus to bringing down the state senators who oppose the amendment in this fall's election.

Given the local, state, and nationwide unhappiness with Republicans, there is a good chance that there will be even fewer state senators who support it next time around.
