Considering Rep. Frank let his lover operate a prostitution ring out of his Capitol Hill apartment, and Gov. McGreevey appointed his lover a homeland security adviser, I would think their homosexuality would be among the least of their electoral woes. Did you choose crooks on purpose?
No. Franks and McGreevy are simply two known gay Democrats. If there are other gay Democrats better suited for a national ticket, and there must be, they could easily replace Franks and McGreevy. I would actually like two respected, capable, gay Democrats in this scenario running against two Republicans who may be homophobes, to see what forum members think would happen in such a match up. I believe that just because someone is gay does not necessarily mean they cannot be a capable leader.
