He can forget about running for President...Too many Republicans see this as a huge turnoff...
I could care less. I don't agree with same-sex marriage, but it isn't a priority to me. I don't think it is "worse than terrorism" like some Oklahoman Congresswoman said.

That Oklahoma legislator is a good friend of mine, Sally Kern.  I don't agree with her assessment, but she is still a good friend of mine.

I have to give Gov. Huntsman a lot of credit.  He's standing up to the majority of his party, especially in Utah, and recognizing that being favorable to civil unions and anti-discrimination laws is not the same as being pro-gay marriage.  I pretty much have the same view on the subject as the Governor with the slight exception that I'm slowly, very slowly, warming to gay marriage.

I hope I didn't offend you. I don't mind her one bit, and would probably vote for her if I was in her district. I just think her assesment was, well, a bit too strong.

Oh, you didn't offend me at all about Rep. Kern.  I affirm your statement that she is overall a pretty good representative for her district, but also agree that her statement was a bit over the top.  I don't really agree with a lot of her politics, but I know her heart for the Lord God and her heart for her constituents and there is a heart of gold beating inside her chest.  Her elder son, Jesse, was my music minister from 1995-1997, and now lives in Iowa.  Her husband, Steve, is the pastor of Olivet Baptist Church in NW OKC.

Back to her politics, she wouldn't stand a chance in a lot of the country, but in Oklahoma where the folks are conservative, she is a good representative.
