Connecticut becomes 3rd state to legalize gay marriage

In a 4-3 decision, the Connecticut Supreme Court ruled that same sex couples have a constitutional right to marriage, making Connecticut the third state in the union to legalize same sex marriage. It will be interesting to see if this has an effect on the national presidential election or, more tangibly, the local Prop 8 election, which the most recent poll shows leading by 5 percentage points, 47-42.
