Are we going to get our first out gay Senator?

Advertisements [?]

In Wisconsin, Herb Kohl has decided to retire from the Senate leaving an open seat. In the Democratic Primary, if Feingold runs he leads 70 to 12 over Baldwin who is his next nearest competition. But Feingold may well not want to run. If he doesn't. Tammy Baldwin, an out lesbian House member, is in the lead 30 to 17. Baldwin is far less known than Feingold is so it is sensible that she would lose big to him but her lead is over two other Congressmen. I would love to see Feingold redeemed, but if doesn't wish to run, it would be great to see a lesbian in the Senate.
