Reply #11: It's not because he is gay!

Some of the "party officials" who asked him not to run even contributed to his last campaign.

Wagner is saying it is because he is gay, but everybody here knew that in 2004 and supported him.

The issue is about his personality and truthfulness. He is not a good public speaker. He has been saying some very bizzare things. Many think he was untruthful to supporters about his poll numbers and chance of winning in the days right before last year's election, in order to get more donations. He promised folks he was within the margin of error, but 5 days later he lost by more than 30% points. He didn't even garner the dem vote. There's a whole litany of things.

I don't support asking him to not run - that is what primaries are for! But this has absolutely nothing to do with sexual orientation, from my perspective.
