Same-sex couples are nervously awaiting today's final vote in the California Assembly on legislation that would legalize gay marriage.

Debate on the measure began late Wednesday. An initial vote saw support from 35 of the 80 members, six short of the number needed for passage.

All Republicans in the Assembly, along with a number of Democrats voted against the bill. As the legislation moves today toward the final vote supporters and opponents are frantically trying to muster as much support as they can. Neither side Wednesday night as the chamber adjourned for the evening would predict the outcome today.
