But Campbell said the measure's success with fellow lawmakers would depend on the governor's support....

VT already has civil unions, so this is just to play catch-up with the states that allow marriage. The first civil rights law (the first in the nation) created a huge and rather unpleasant rift in the state. Four years after it was enacted it was not even an election issue, people had got used to it and the sky had not fallen.
I agree with Tyler.
