TRENTON, New Jersey:With the defeated of Jon Corzine in the November 3, 2009 elections, proponents of gay marriage have reached a point of urgency. With the ousting of the pro-gay marriage governor, who will leave office in the next few months, and the insertion of gay marriage opponent Chris Christie, New Jersey Democrats are hoping to pass a bill that would legalize marriage equality before Corzine leaves the reigns to the Governor elect.[1]
According to a contributor named “Caroline” in the blog, 'The Outspoken Liberal: "I really don’t want marriage equality on the ballot in New Jersey--this is why we must pass it before Corzine leaves office."
According to Sharon Soon, writer for the blog Conservatives With Attitude,: "Many state Senate seats will be up next year, and following a loss like today’s, it might not be the wisest action for our Democrats to pass legislation on such an issue that is proven to be unpopular and controversial."
