Looking at this amazing primary season, where it is extremely likely that our nominee will be an African American, a woman, or a Hispanic (only Edwards, Clark, or Gore could make that not happen) I admittedly am asking what if. What if, James McGreevey hadn't been corrupt? What if McGreevey had come out as gay from as a single man who hadn't put his lover on the payroll? What if he had been able to govern for a couple of years as an openly gay man? Sadly, we have no other gay politician anywhere near ready for President. No governors, no Senators, and two House members. Barney Frank can't run for Senate as he is in MA with two Democrats. Tammy Baldwin can't run for Senator as she has two Democratic Senators. Neither can run for governor since both states have Democratic governors.
It would have been so sweet to have a gay man among our historic primary candidates. If only Jim McGreevey hadn't been corrupt. He could have been a contender.
