have the political power and political popularity that andrew cuomo did and our governor was able to use that power and support to marshall this through. the third thing is that all the groups that were working for us in the past all joined together and worked as a coordinated campaign. then part of that campaign was money. and the money wasn't directly given to the senators, but the money was used to get people in the senate districts to contact their senators, to put tv ads up, to get celebrities like cynthia nixon and others to come to albany and make the case, audrey mcdonald was here. all that combined made it a perfect opportunity for the senate to put the bill on the floor. and convince those four republicans that they should vote yes. i owe a great debt of gratitude personally. my family and i will be forever grateful to the four senators who joined 29 of those democrats who made history. >> do you expect other states will be able to follow new york's model? >> new york is a very large state and diverse state. people think of it just the pride parade in new york city but ther

i think, i take total blame for this, the fact of the matte is andrew cuomo is thinking of running r president in 2006 teen the way his father did or whatever year he almost did, whatever that year was, charlie, not because of the issues so much but because of money this is aig issue, one of the first ways people like us and insiders judge a candidate's viability is by their ability to raise money and so we will see later this week when theirst quaer must be come out in the presidential republican candidates and money is a huge deal, it has been a huge deal since 1992, i think that, and polling has shown this the world is changing and a generational split here and you can see it this polling and cut across party lines as well and that is that people over, i think the age differential is 40 or 405 tend to be against gay marriage, people under 40 cannot be against gay marriage i think it is a issue that counts less and less, i think as we go more and more into time it w't matter that much, not that people have passionate people, the younger people have paionate feelings about it, it is

in order to help andrew cuomo in his eventually bid to run for president. it's one thing to sell out your principles in order to get elected. that's wrong. but to sell out your principles in order to get the other guy elected is is just plain dumb. i do think that the republican party in new york is going to pay a big price for that. because, you know, the polling we did and the polling is becoming very sensitive to how you ask the questions. when we asked new yorkers do you want to define marriage as one man and one woman the answer was 57% still support that. i think that's why our call to refer this to the people of new york went unheeded and the politicians in albany, you know, quickly pushed it through. >> brown: you don't see a shift in public opinion over the last few years at all? >> we're not seeing it on the ground. we are seeing some change in polling. when you look at it, it depends on how the question is asked and what context it's in. i think it's true and i don't have a problem with this. people are very sensitive. they don't want to express
