Checking in briefly from NYC, where this just rolled across the news tickers in Times Square, a qualified 4-3 endorsement of same-sex unions, if not marriage, by the New Jersey Supreme Court. However much a victory this is for human rights, it’s a political gift to the Republicans, who will quickly make this a base-rallyer for the closing stretch of the campaign. (Which I still believe is much closer to heart-breaking defeat than triumph for Dems.)
