Earlier today, it looked like Republicans Fain (R-47) and Hill (R-45) were potential winners because they stood to benefit with a spike in contributions if they broke party ranks–as both are considering doing–and voted for the gay marriage bill.

Four Republican state senators in New York who pushed the state’s gay marriage bill over the top got a windfall in political contributions, according to the New York Times.
