So I came up to her and asked about DOMA. Kehoe expressed surprise and said, "that's a good question. I don't know."<BR/><BR/>She endorsed Hillary without even asking her that important question first? Shouldn't our progressive leaders demand these types of questions -- maybe even get a concession or two -- before throwing your weight behind the candidate, giving them streetcred in the LGBT community?<BR/><BR/>There's one reason why Christine Kehoe -- and Sheila Kuehl, for that matter -- would endorse Hillary Clinton. Both are termed-out of office, and would love a nice job in the new Democratic Administration. They're going with the "winner."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939215487471290749.post-69280768871424861722007-12-07T12:50:00.000-08:002007-12-07T12:50:00.000-08:00The California LGBT Steering committee needs to ch...The California LGBT Steering committee needs to check out our trailer on Gay Marriage.
