We Might Be Getting Our First Openly Gay Senator

Tammy Baldwin. She's unstoppable at this point, and I'll go out on a limb here: she will win. I can't believe we've had open gays in the House, but not the senate. Will the media make a big deal out of this? I hope the Right goes into total meltdown, not just over Obama being reelected, but the gays holding power.

• Sad. The USA is so behind the rest of the civilized world.

• Nobody is unstoppable when the Mormon cult can spend millions to steal an election.

• I think it's nice that we can replace a closeted gay man with an out lesbian. I also hope it encourages some of the other Senate lesbians to come out. I'm looking at you Maria Cantwell and Barbara Mikulski.

• A month is an eternity in politics. If you're in Wisconsin don't forget to vote. If you're anywhere in the states don't forget to vote.

• I can't think of anything worse.

• Yes!

• Maria Cantwell is gay? I thought she was having an affair with a married journalist.

• r5, you've made my day!

• An attractive, never-married woman in her early 50s? Who likes to play team sports? Look, I don't like stereotypes, but if it looks like a dyke and quacks like a dyke...

• In other words it's a hunch, not based on any specific knowledge.

• What a disgusting topic for a thread.

• Many of us are not into sports... Or tabouli.

• Vote ww for r5!

• [quote]Vote ww for R5! Why? Do you find it witty or wise? Please explain.

• She's replacing a Dem. She will win.
