John, last night (emphasis mine):
Am I the only one who thinks all the blue dogs and Republicans are coming out in favor of gay marriage […]
Benen, this morning, commenting on Senator Mark Begich coming out in favor of gay marriage, along with the recent statements by Claire McCaskill and Mark Warner:
That appears to bring the new total of sitting senators who support marriage equality to 44 — 43 Democrats and one Republican.
Were there some other Republicans in Congress–those facing actual voters, not DC media types who desperately want Republicans to be more decent–who have jumped on the gay marriage bandwagon? I don’t recall hearing of any but Portman, but I might have missed one or two. Otherwise, Cole was a little over-generous with his use of the plural form.
