  >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Well MunchingZ -- from your informed posts here, I'd say the politician you work for, couldn't be in much better "hands" than yours for his speech writing efforts!!! Good luck, and let us know how that goes !!!

  I wish I was part of Obama's speech team! That is something for the resume. Nope, I am just a campaign grunt, but I am the only gay member of the staff as far as I can tell so I get asked to do lots of gay related things.
  
  Were any of you on the call? It went down like this. A few prominent members of the political GLBT community like Joe Solmonese and Tobias Wolf came on and said "Look Hillary supporters, I know it sucks your candidate lost but here is why you should stump for Barack". Joe was actually in the middle of a fundraising bike ride between SanFran and LA.
  
  Obama will be on a future call.

  I tend to be cynical, but I'll throw out the softball -- does Obama really intend anything substantial as far as advancing equal rights for gays and lesbians or are we just one of many interest groups that must be aknowledged?
  
  (I just saw Hillary, Obama and McSame's speeches at AIPAC to see which could out-kiss Israel's ass, which is why I ask it like that. I'd love to believe that Israeli politicians get elected based on which one promises to represent AMERICAN interests the strongest :lol

  Obama has made gay rights part of his agenda and the LGBT community part of his coalition from the beginning. With a new sizable majority in the Senate and House I don't see how gay rights can't be furthered.

  If Senator Obama wins in November, lets see what happens on that issue. If nothing happens, which I suspect is the case, would you Democrats consider becoming Republicans. If we outnumbered the Christian Taliban the Republican party would be more supportive of us.

  It sounds good to me! It looks like the 'good guys' aka, us, are getting more representation here with Obama than with McCain, Bush, Kerry or Gore, and a chance to really make something happen on the human rights front.
  
  Of course, this is the pandering season, so yes I will be disappointed if this all turns out to be lip service but I think we all stand a lot better chance for real change with Obama. All other things aside, I just don't see the 70+ year old McCain suddenly, shockingly, and contrary to his political party's platform (seriously, it's on the RNC website) being a great civil rights champion for us.
