Governor Dayton still has to sign it tomorrow, but with the Senate vote today, it's pretty much official. Although I'm not living there at the moment, I'm very proud of my state today.

Awesome. A consolation prize for not getting rid of that Gov.

But does anyone know why all these states are suddenly voting on this? After years of stagnation- why 2013? Some kind of massive grass roots effort?

Not getting rid of that gov? I've been happy with Dayton. You mean Pawlenty before him?

States have been voting on it for years. It's just that the votes have been going the other way. It's only recently that we've reached a tipping point where public opinion in many places favors gay marriage.

Will Michele Bachmann now make good on her threat to leave Minnesota? Will she take her husband with her? Where?

Might you be thinking of Wisconsin and their failure to recall that slimebag Scott Walker when they had the chance?

<- Yep, sorry. All those states run together for me. They should just consolidate, call themselves the Upper Midwest Territory and make Marcus Bachman their queen.
