"Now the election of 2004 is over," said Christopher Barron, the Log Cabin Republicans' political director. "And we think there are opportunities to work with this president. The fact is the gay and lesbian community has to realize that the president won."

During the campaign (September/October timeframe?), it came out that Christopher Barron's last job was rather high-up in a Democrat organization.

Found it! "GayPatriot is reporting that the Gay Republican organization Log Cabin Republicans, which has refused to endorse President Bush's re-election, has been infiltrated by the Kedwards campaign at the top: Log Cabin GOP Political Director Unmasked As Former Edwards Campaign Operative In a major blow to the credibility of the national Log Cabin Republicans organization as a moderate voice in the Republican Party, newly discovered documents reveal that the person who manages the national Log Cabin political operation is, in fact, a long-time operative for the John Edwards Democratic Presidential campaign. According to documents faxed to me yesterday (detailed in the section below), and corroborated by multiple sources, Log Cabin Political Director Christopher Barron headed up volunteer efforts for the John Edwards for President campaign for the Washington, DC area. Barron was hired by new Executive Director Patrick Guerriero as part of his management team. According to three different sources, Barron has separately confirmed his connection to the Edwards campaign in the past.... Log Cabin's recent "non-endorsement" of President Bush based on "principle" is now also called into question. Is it possible that coordination between LCR and the Kerry-Edwards campaign intentionally engineered the "non-endorsement" as a way to suppress the votes this year of the supposed one million gay voters for Bush in 2000? Finally, the news that Log Cabin's political director may in fact be a Democrat-in-disguise raises serious questions about the true agenda and judgment of the new national Log Cabin management team. Just this week, news broke that LCR National cancelled the charter of a local chapter because that chapter endorsed a Republican! How hypocritical since that decision was defended by none other than former John Edwards operative, Christopher Barron. The most disturbing question of all in my mind is why Log Cabin has only provided lip-service protest against the "outing" campaign and not launched an all-out assult against Michael Rogers? In fact, Rogers himself has claimed repeatedly that Log Cabin board members are helping him. Is it possible that Guerriero and Barron don't care about the gay Republicans being outed at all?
