NJ senate rejects gay marriage bill

January 08, 2010

The debate ended, the votes were cast, and all eyes turned toward the board in the Senate chamber that shows the tally by flashing a green or red light next to each name.

It was not close. With Democrats in firm control of every lever of power in Trenton, they could not deliver, not by a long shot.

At the end, Democrats stumbled away like a defeated army. The board showing the vote tally, which sometimes stays on for hours, was snapped off quickly, as if they were ashamed of it.
