As a gay man of a certain age, myself, I love me some Barney Frank, but the image of him "servicing in Obama's cabinet" is disturbing.

That you "can accept that you might be wrong."

Everything you are saying about gay people seems based on some insecurity mascarading as moral certainty.

If you're genuinely willing to educate yourself, as opposed to just looking for ancedotes to boister your delusions, why not check out a site like http://www.exgaywatch.com/wp/ and read up on some case histories?

I'm willing to bet gay conversion therapies and groups have ruined more lives and possibly facillitated more suicides than they've effected permanent "conversions."

to lay this at the feet of the mythical "Team Clinton"  when reputable journalists have sourced it to officials within the transition.

It's been pointed out ad nauseum tonight by pundits, anchors and various campaign press corp members that if the Transition Team wanted this tamped down, it would have happened much earlier in the story arc.
It is equally reasonable to speculate that President-Elect Obama might have been keeping Bill Richardson apprised of his process, or scoping him out about what other cabinet level positions he might be interested in.

This is "Tightly Scripted Drama."

Now that there's not an election at stake, better strategic thinkers than us might find it useful at/on this stage.

had completely subsided.  I can't imagine HRC summoned herself to Chicago, or that she convinced Transition Team officials to leak the details, given the Obama Campaign's history of dicipline you cite.

It would seem to me fair to also ask that we move beyond distant initial positions on the Iraq war if we are being, perhaps wrongly, chastised for not moving beyond the more recent primary wars.  

That would require believing understandings and positions can evolve.

In fact, mine are doing it at this very moment.

Rahm is notorious for his strategic leaking, and with this to chew on over the weekend, at least the transition team is controlling the idle speculation.

"Why do you perceive it always to be so Machiavellian and complicated whenever the Clintons are involved?"

These leaks started with Pres.-Elect Obama's transition team, according to Andrea Mitchell and Keith Olbermann.

NARAL just ironed Barack's shirt.

Is this supposed to be clever or something?  Maybe you should try cross-posting it over at the EENR blog to see how other Edwards supporters feel about you using JRE as a shiney object to draw attention from your candidate's self inflicted fiasco.
