I think the gays ran him out. I read the other day that he opposed gay marriage in about 2000.
Everyone was against marriage in 2000.
Um anyway guys, this article is the only source for this. And now it’s not there anymore. It looks like some idiot at Newsmax (which is a shoddy crap operation) reposted the article about his initial declining of the race. Lame.
BTW the thing that made him change his mind and get in was Patty Murray (DCSC Chair”woman”) threatened to sleep with him if he didn’t.
