Signs of the future?

I recently wrote that the GOP in New Hampshire was crafting bills to overturn the gay marriage law there. House Republican Leader D.J. Bettencourt says now that killing gay marriage is not on their agenda for the year. Some are wondering if that implies it will be on the agenda in 2012 (better to be an early influence prez. politics). Or, since Bettencourt is 27, the younger (more pro-gay) generation is in control and the issue won't come up at all.
