New Mexico county to follow SF's lead.
CNN reports that Sandoval County, New Mexico will begin issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples, pointing to the fact that New Mexico law refers to marriage as being 'between two parties.'
This could soon get too big for Rove to spin back. Get a few states on the record as doing this, and it might be too big to stop.
And K just brought up an extremely interesting question - what about states with common-law statutes?

Maybe we should ALL just Stand Up and Declare ourselves? Most of us are really tired of being treated like second-class citizens without any rights. We're just people like anyone else. Most of the couples I know have been together longer than many of the "normal" married couples I know. We've stayed together through it all, the good and the bad, and everything that's come between. Our commitment hasn't been lessened because we don't have a piece of paper saying we are legal. Our commitment comes from the Heart. What the piece of paper does is protects our rights: property, insurance benefits, old-age, etc. All the things other people take for granted.
Hmmm....there could be a Revolution here. :)
