Wow, I'm totally SHOCKED that bad press is coming out against one of Clinton's opponents.. What are the odds that CNN would put out bad press about one of them?

I checked CNN.com and did a search for Clinton, You have to go through pages of stories before you get one story that even hits about a negative on Clinton.. SHOCKED I tell you.

Actually, I read a popular liberal blog whose author is gay and isn't exactly a fan of Hillary, and the comments under this story included many gays who seem to be writing Obama off because of this. It's a big problem for many.

Gays are tired of being whipping posts and scapegoats used to rally votes. SOMEBODY in Obama's campaign should have done their research.
