A convergence in recent news: the apparent decision of Senate President Mike Miller to seek re-election in 2010 and the near-unanimous ruling from the California Supreme Court granting marriage equality to same-sex couples.

While the event in California accelerates the possibility of Maryland gay and lesbian couples gaining marriage licenses, Miller staying on slows it right back down.

Miller is quick to remind people that he doesn't support "gay marriage," which is certainly not helpful to their cause. He has claimed he wouldn't stand in the way if the votes for cloture were there, but everyone knows the Senate President likes to keep controversial issues from reaching the Senate floor.
