60. Still a problem for me but I still support Obama...
Edited on Mon Feb-18-08 02:27 AM by Baby Snooks
Has Hillary Clinton really been much better? What did Hillary and Bill Clinton offer the first time other than "Don't Ask, Don't Tell?" Do you really believe she will do anything for the GLBT community? Do you really think she will do anything for women? Or minorities? What did Bill Clinton do? Not much in the final analysis.

Personally I could do without the religion on the part of all the candidates. Reality is Barack Obama is part African-American. The African-American community has some "soul-searching" to do with regard to the GLBT community. But they have to do it regardless of who is president. And so it just comes down to one thing. Do you want more of the same? Or do you want something new? Do you want to take a chance that you will be stuck again with "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" with Hillary Clinton or do you want to take a chance that while Barack Obama may not give you everything you want, you may at least finally have equality under the law. As in "Don't Ask."
