Politics & Other Mistakes: Out of the closet

[MaineDem]

I don’t believe in gay stereotypes. With one exception.

For a long time, I’ve been convinced homosexuals make lousy political strategists.

Yes, I saw “Milk,” the movie about assassinated San Francisco City Supervisor Harvey Milk, the first openly gay man ever elected in California. But before redistricting allowed Milk to squeak into office, he lost three straight (oops, sorry) elections.

...

Balanced? Maybe. Slick? You bet.

Six months ago, I’d have given same-sex marriage about the same chance of winning a popular vote in Maine as I’d give Republicans of gaining control of the Legislature: zero. Now, I think the odds are close to even. And the momentum is all going one way.

Those gay people have gotten good at this political stuff.

Hey, is that a new stereotype?

Got a comment? No matter what type – stereo or mono – you can e-mail me at [e-mail].

I'm still too annoyed to reply to him or the paper. This guy loves to whine about things.
