The New York Times has a piece for tomorrow's edition headlined "Senate Braces Itself for Fight on Gay Marriage." Excerpt:
The political implications for the debate in Congressional races became clear on Thursday as well. John Thune, a former House member challenging the Senate Democratic leader, Tom Daschle, in South Dakota, traveled the state to express his support of the amendment. His aides said he would air his first radio advertisement of the campaign on Friday focusing on that subject."Tom Daschle ought to be terrified of this issue," said Dick Wadhams, Mr. Thune's campaign manager.
In a statement, Mr. Daschle said the existing federal law had not been tested and predicted it would be upheld. "The regulation of marriage has long been under the purview of the states, and I believe that is where it should remain," he said.
