Wait, the IL House has already voted on this?
I just called Muon2's office to inquire, and Muon2 has not taken a position on the gay marriage bill, and will await the final product on which he will be asked to vote in the House (which may per whom I spoke fiddle with the language a bit) before making a final decision. I told the nice lady with whom I spoke the reason that I was inquiring, and she asked if I wanted to let Muon2 who was calling, and I gave her my name, and asked her to give to let him know that I called, and that I said hi.
So much of this is premature speculation. I do get the sense that Muon2 is just not chomping at the bit to have to vote on this puppy. We shall see whether or not he becomes a "profile in courage" or not on this issue.
Ah, I was a bit confused because your last post seemed to indicate that he'd already voted against the bill.
Don't forget, of course, it's also entirely possible he'll just vote "Present"; I believe it's a bit of a tradition for Illinois legislators facing difficult votes.
