1. uuuhhh, no news yet
it's on local tv. the anti-gay marraige peeps are ridiculously funny. "well, i think marraige is an ancient custom that shouln't be changed" and "im just worried they'll pass an amendment that has a civil union provision too because I'm also opposed to that" and "well, im a father of 4 sons so i dont like gay marraige"

3. Boston Globe's website has great coverage
http://www.boston.com/

For instance, they now have an update on the debate saying that republican state senator Jo Ann Sprague has urged legislators to oppose any constitutional amendment.

5. On Kerry...
If an amendment comes out of this convention that "allows" but does not mandate civil unions, and does not state that they are the TOTAL legal equivalent of marriage, and if Kerry supports such an amendment, then I am not sure I could campaign for him. That would be asking a lot. I draw the line at "nominal" equality.

6. Civil unions amendment passed...
On Boston Globa site, at a 2-to-1 margin.
