It’s probably not one of those sexy races, especially because marriage equality will most likely hit Missouri on the far side of never *sigh*, but the Democrat running against my current rep is an openly gay father (Clint Hylton). Graves makes me ill on a regular basis, so I’m excited to help Hylton boot him.

I agree with Dave, this is NOT a “victory” for NOM; Tom Campbell lost because his campaign run out of money. They’re spinning this to suck up $$$ from their donors.

(And it should be noted that they make no reference to Steve Cooley’s victory, which is a resounding FAIL for them)

CB,

Whitman is married to Griffith Harsh IV, a neurosurgeon at Stanford University Medical Center. (which i guess makes her Mrs. Harsh)

Carly is married to AT&T executive Frank Fiorina.

Just curious, are either Whitman or Fiorina married? We don’t need another Ashburn. You never see either one with a spouse. If you want to go with lesbian stereotype looks…well, I’m just sayin’……. LOL

“I have to take issue with your support for Meg Whitman. She openly believes that holier-than-thou lie that “civil unions are good enough” and anybody who can justify reaching out and voting against my marriage is unfit for public office.”

Well, I understand this position. I hope this applies to Democrats like President Obama as well, as I wouldn’t want you to have double standards.

Dave, NOM has a graph which they are using to claim victory.

Carly Fiorina’s win over Tom Campbell is not in any way a victory for NOM. Fiorina had been leading for a long time and was expected to win. NOM’s contribution to the campaign didn’t change the outcome.

(On the positive side, NOM just wasted a lot of money that they now do not have available for other anti-gay activities!)

I was disappointed in Tom Campbell’s campaign. Its like he just gave up. Carly was running TV adds and all over the place. Campbell was silent. I expected more from someone who has been in politics before. At any rate, there’s not much any elected official can do for gay rights in CA these days since we have most of them.

Its much more important to get pro-gay candidates in states where the legislature still has the ability to pass laws to benefit LGBT people.

I have to take issue with your support for Meg Whitman. She openly believes that holier-than-thou lie that “civil unions are good enough” and anybody who can justify reaching out and voting against my marriage is unfit for public office.
