    In this case I think they're trying to get 10 Republicans on board. The delay is till right after the midterm elections but with this current congress.

    I think the idea is that a Republican might not vote yes now if it has a chance to hurt them with the Republican voters. It probably won't help them so strategically it is not worth voting yes. If it is after the election it matters less (voters will forget it before the next election)

        I think they might be 10 Republican Senators who are in favor of codifying gay marriage personally. I'm not sure if they would be willing to cross the majority of their party to vote yes though.
