8. My favorite parts of this

are how gay family members played such a big role in motivating and changing the minds of some opponents.

And Gov. Cuomo sure knows how to strategize, mobilize and play behind the scenes hardball.

[dbackjon]

12. I want a Democrat in office

But one that truly supports us.

I know that there will be no major opposition to Obama in the 2012 primary. But we have to hold his feet to the fire.
