Today Vermont became the fourth state to legalize gay marriage (and the first to do so with a legislature's vote). The House recorded a dramatic 100-49 vote, the minimum needed, to override Gov. Jim Douglas' veto. The vote followed a much easier override vote in the Senate, which rebuffed the Republican governor with a vote of 23-5.
