Down To Three

The Final Four is down to three. No, not basketball where Michigan and Louisville play for the National Championship in about an hour, but the final four Democratic Senators who opposed marriage equality in a recent post. Tim Johnson of South Dakota has announced that his views have evolved and he now supports gay marriage rights:

“After lengthy consideration, my views have evolved sufficiently to support marriage equality legislation,” Johnson said in a statement released through his office. “This position doesn’t require any religious denomination to alter any of its tenets; it simply forbids government from discrimination regarding who can marry whom.”

Johnson’s decision comes in the wake of several other Democratic senators who have switched in favor of gay marriage. Just three red-state holdouts remain: Sens. Mary Landrieu (D-La.), Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Mark Pryor (D-Ark.).
