The one person I absolutely do not want as Obama's VP.
Sam Nunn is a homophobic asshole who played a large role in DADT. If he is Obama's VP many GLBT people like myself may think twice about Obama.

1. some of us GLBT
are thinking twice already - adding Nunn to the McClurkin fiasco is not going to help BHO at all

peace

2. I wouldn't worry about it
Nunn is way too old to be running for VP. He's 69 now and will be 70 in September. There are plenty of people who are slightly older the Obama that would make great running mates.

3. Sam who?
I mean, sure, I know who he is, but he's such a non-entity compared to the rest of the alleged list I don't think he's anything more than padding.

4. Good post
very true. But I don't think (in fact I am postive on this) that Obama would be so hateful as to have Sam Nunn on this ticket. Obama has to know that Sam's views on homosexuality do not jive at all with his own. I would bet that Obama has probably learned from his previous misstep in connecting with the gay community. Sam Nunn will not be VP.

5. I wouldn't lose any sleep over Nunn.
I don't see him joining the ticket.

6. I wouldn't worry about it. I think he'll be on his foreign policy team, but not VP!
Too old, well respected, but also controversial.
