There has been speculation that several GOP senators might be willing to vote "yes" on marriage, including Vincent Leibell and James Alesi. But so far, neither of those two - nor any other minority members for that matter - have been willing to tip their hands.

Advocates are hoping that the 89-52 Assembly vote earlier this week will help pressure some lawmakers in the upper house - particularly those on Long Island, where the Empire State Pride Agenda has been polling - to reconsider their positions.
