If you were saying that to me, then yeah, I know.
It's exactly the same thing I am supporting. I believe that by definition "marriage" is between a man and a woman, but gay couples should be allowed to have unions that offer the EXACT same rights as a marriage does to a man and woman.

Democrats also have to tap in to the religious base. The far left may feel slighted but they'll soon realize they have no choice. This may cause the Naders and Badnariks to get more votes but it shouldn't be too significant.
I believe senator Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas would be an excellent candidate. She has a history of appealing to the moderate base and she represents the south. Plus her last name "Lincoln" creates a subtle association with the previous Lincoln. That may sound stupid but it's how the human mind works.

I made my post in the other read before reading this. You are right of course. It's just that sometimes I get the feeling only I am seeing that the democrats are failing horribly. But they wouldnt be polititians for nothing, and if anyone can get us out of this scrape it's them. I'm sure they'll work it out. Do you know how many seats in the house will be open for re-election 2 years from now?
And you're right on the last part too. "Honest Abe" has made the name "Lincoln" sound very friendly and very very respectable. It would help her in the election.
