1. Looks like a rumor to me. And still no word from Skelos on a vote or on amendments. n/t

but something more concrete would be nice.

3. Yeah, here's hoping.

The way to follow this is on Twitter. Hard to get a good impression of what's going on without it.

4. When I see 32 roll call votes in favor on the Senate floor I'll believe it

5. I'd be content with a public statement.

But we need something more than an anonymous report from someone.

6. This is based on a claim by a Republican Senator, apparently.

"Republican working the #gaymarriage vote insists a firm 32 in Sen GOP conference, refuses to reveal tipping point. Still no word on vote."

I hate to keep repeating the same story, but last time this came up, the Senate Dems had firm personal commitments by at least 8 Republicans, in private, to vote for it. They all lied.
