In 2008, incredibly, the Republicans nominate two very conservative, some say anti-gay, candidates.  Equally incredibly, the Democrats nominate two gay candidates.

The Republicans want to press the family values issues in the campaign, and the Democrats want to show they are the party of equality and tolerance.

Republican Ticket
For President, Senator Saxby Chambliss of Georgia
For Vice President, Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma

Democratic Ticket
For President, Congressman Barney Frank of Massachusetts
For Vice President, Former Governor Jim Mcgreevy of New Jersey

These are the only candidates.  There are no independents or third party candidates running.

How does this election turn out?

Please discuss.

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.
