398. what if that doesn't happen?
what if he isn't abandoned? he's high profile, from CA where even the fiscal conservatives are more socially liberal. he may very well retain his seat and if he did, the pubblies might just decide to let him be an example of their tolerance.

the times, they are a-changing.

gay hatred still exists but homophobia, and i'm talking about fear of homosexuality, which is the true meaning of the word, is obviously decreasing. log cabin pubbies do exist. CA pubbies abandoned a true conservative and went with arnie, despite his divergance from typical conservative social values.

in general, the pubbies have retreated to a defense of marriage and the military. can their acceptance of an opinly gay pubbie in a very prominent position be far behind?

so...what happens if we violate his sexual privacy and they back him up? it isn't out of the question, you know....

suddenly we aren't quite as much the good guys and they aren't quite as much the bad guys.
