18. Sang, you didn't read one of my responses

The gay issue doesn't play well in middle America the way racial issues did. Because there is no economic element to it. Only gay bashing.

Christ, in 1992, the GOP tried to smear the Clinton with being "gay lovers" and giving in to the "gay lobby" over his plan to allow gays to serve in the military.

It was roundly criticized.

I agree that the GOP will try to make an issue of it. But they will fail. We have to be ready for it. In fact, I think it may benefit us more than hurt us - especially with independent voters. Who are pro-gay rights (to an extent).

If the GOP try this, I think it will hurt them more than us.
