For what it's worth, there's a petition from the folks at Having Nunn of It asking the Obama campaign to please please, please not put arch-homophobe and back-stabbing former Democratic Sen. Sam Nunn on the ticket as the vice presidential candidate. They list three key reasons:
- "Sam Nunn is a homophobe."
- "Sam Nunn is a bad Democrat."
- "Sam Nunn represents the past."
I've already stated that my heated opposition to Nunn is all about #1. I could give a flying fuck about #2 -- I don't consider myself a Democrat, so adherence to some nebulous ideology doesn't concern me. As to #3, the Democrats could run Grandpa Simpson and I'd likely vote for him just because I'm so flabbergasted and angry over what the Republican hordes have done to the Constitution and country for the past seven-plus years.
One reason is plenty, though. Go sign up!
