"The gay vote"

At the end of the rainbow is a pot of gold! ...Well for Clinton and Obama that is! Both are fighting for the "gay vote." But as Clinton has been a favorite to the gay community (for example her walking in the gay parade in 2000) alot of the gay community is crossing over to Obama. Both Clinton and Obama oppose same-sex marriages while supporting civil unions.A major difference between the candidates is that Obama supports full repeal of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, a law signed by Bill Clinton -- under pressure from a Republican-dominated Congress -- that prohibits federal recognition of same-sex marriages and permits states to do the same. Hillary Clinton wants to roll back only part of the law.Hillary is also tied to the "Don't ask don't tell" which reversed a campaign pledge he made to allow gays to serve openly.So it all boils down to the Texas and Ohio primaries...Obama has full-page advertisements in gay publications in Texas and Ohio.Clinton's campaign started a statewide committee this week to undertake efforts in gay areas of Cleveland, Cincinnati and Columbus. Even though Clinton has a long relationship with the gay community, it may not be enoough to out weigh Obama's success and popularity. Clinton better cross her fingers...
