Thanks for posting. Facts ARE stubborn things. But there seem to be many on this site that would delight in preventing an electable Republican with actual accomplishments - cited in your post - that any conservative would applaud, just because he is perceived to be, ah, gay-friendly (the horror), and not "right" enough socially. Those are the folks that will succeed in assuring we have a democrat in the White House come next election. Let's all make sure we nominate a candidate that appeases all the true conservatives in the world, but has no chance of winning a national election. Sounds like a plan.

There are other electable Republicans out there. IMO Newt, Thompson, even Hunter though I admit he's failing. The test is winning the primaries. If Newt or Thompson or Hunter can win the nomination, they can win the Presidency.

And you're correct in pointing out that the way to win the nomination, particularly against a candidate vulnerable on social issues, isn't painting him as too gay-friendly or an adulterer. You can be gay-friendly and oppose civil-unions, you can have one wife and act immorally, and if someone is pro-choice, they're not a murderer.
