Overall gay marriage support in the Senate: with map!

So... can we expect Susan Collins to "evolve" tomorrow or in the next few days? I mean come on. Gay marriage is already legal in Maine.

Personally, I doubt Collins will explicitly support same-sex marriage until after winning the GOP primary for her Senate seat next year. I'd imagine she's probably a bit paranoid about getting a primary challenge from a LePage type.

I would be willing to bet that this is almost certainly the case.

Republicans:
2 3 Supporters (Portman, Kirk, Murkowski)
41 40 Opponents
2 Ambiguous (Collins, the new R Senator in New Jersey -- but the Governor is not a homophobe and the appointee will be up for re-election in November 2013)

Jeff Chiesa is a place-holder and the state GOP has already ceded the 2013 special election.
