Here's one possible reason it may be relevant - because if he is, expect the biggest smear campaign since Clarence Thomas was named to the SCt. Remember, the Dems love gays, until they don't parrot the party line. If there's any hint of this about Mehlman, the Dems will engage in an enthusiastically hypocritical orgy of gay bashing. Tolerance? Don't count on it.

This is disgusting. I don't know why this is still up. Just trying to make trouble for a Republican.

Who cares, besides hillary's lovely legs?

ZOT!

BINGO! In fact this whispering campaign is probably part of the effort.

Mehlman is a successful Republican leader and is in line to be the next RNC Chairman ... and is therefore a threat to the Democrats. Whether he's gay or not, it's still in the interest of the Democratic Party to damage him politically and to undermine his credibility and authority.

What we're really seeing is a replay of what the Dems tried when John Edwards and John Kerry both raised Mary Cheney's lesbianism during the debates, and Liz Edwards followed by claiming that Lynn Cheney was "ashamed" of her gay daughter: deliberatly exploit the homosexuality of a prominant Republican as bait and a wedge to drive between the Republican Administration and Conservatives.

We didn't fall for it then, lets not fall for it now. Gay or not, Mehlman's personal life is NOT fodder for partisan politics.
