I give him two thumbs up on those positions
A LOT of gay men are married to women. Larry Craig and Ted Haggard come to mind. The fact that he is married is nop indicator of anything.

Craig, if you remember, was also against gay rights. Again, his public positions have no meaning.

Haggard isn't gay. He made a very big mistake, and he repented of his sins. Yes, he must pay his Earthly penalty, which means that he will have the constant stigma that any gay person has attached to them. But he is not gay.

She did more to get Obama into the White House than any other person.

I honestly think that a third or more of the politicians you listed are not running in 2012 for POTUS. For starters, McCain I know is not running, Bush (Bush is eying a run for a senate seat) Perry, not sure what his ambitions are but I know Hutchinson is after his seat. Gov Crist from FL is also making a run for a senate seat so...

She describes herself as a "pro-sex, pro-gay Republican" and recently talked about a "revenge of the RINOs" to make the party appeal to the younger generation:

Is Meghan McCain the new face of the GOP?

Paul has also stressed that the GOP is blowing it by not getting behind his message of freedom and ending the drug war. He mentioned that he got support from young people because he is just as opposed to government being on your backs when it comes to not letting you smoke pot as government on your backs with regard to taxes and spending.
