Incidentally, aren't you the same guy who claimed that Argentina never invaded the Falkland Islands?
I guess it depends on the level of election we are talking about. I mean in many cases Republicans running on the state and local levels esp in the Northeast, West, and some some Southern states like VA and FL tend to be less obsessed with social issues then the National GOP Base. For ex. I know a few homosexuals where I go to school who would give their support state and local GOP candidates, and in the county I live the GOP ran an openly gay man for a county supervisor seat.
