mary snow has more. mary, how close are we to seeing this vote? >> i think it's saifrts that everyone is bracing for a long day with a potential vote today. we do know this, the lawmakers here must pass or must vote on a bill dealing with rent regulations and tax caps. that is likely to come up later today. once that vote is taken and that bill is out of the way, that paves the way for a vote on same-sex marriage, whether the republican-controlled senate will still bring it up, that remains unclear. but behind the scenes, there have been ongoing negotiations to address concerns among republican lawmakers about the language of the bill and about protection for religious organizations. we are being told, though, that progress is being made on that language. as you know, this is one vote -- there are 62 members of the state senate here. and supporters of this bill are one vote shy of getting it passed. so there's a lot of pressure building. >> so set the scene for us, marywell, you know, kyra, every day this week, there have been people in favor of this bill and those against. they've been flooding the halls of the state capital here in albany, singing and chanting and, really, lobbying lawmakers. this morning, fewer than usual, but perhaps that's because everybody is appraising for a very long day today and a very long night. but this has been the ongoing scene here in this capital. >> all right. we'll be following right along there with you, mary. thank you. >>> the people in south africa love her. more on first lady michelle obama's visit just ahead.
