   The news for gay marriage advocates hasn't been especially good
   lately. But today the West Virginia state house defeated a proposed
   state constitutional amendment limiting marriage to one man and one
   woman. The defeat is especially significant because, in a legislative
   body in which the GOP enjoys a 41-19 advantage, [1]sixteen Republicans
   joined all nineteen Democrats to vote against. (HT: [2]Michael
   Petrelis.)
