Dem frontrunner touts ENDA support; silent on marriage

In an unannounced speech before the nation's largest gay rights group, Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton in Washington last week said gays "would always have an open door to the White House" if she is elected president.

Clinton, who is ahead in the polls among Democrats running in next year's election, told more than 400 Human Rights Campaign leaders and volunteers that she supports gay adoption and wants gays to be able to serve openly in the military.

She also told of how she worked closely behind the scenes with HRC and other gay groups to develop the strategy that helped defeat a proposed constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage.

I'm sure it will be about as effective as her hubby's statements about gays and the military when he originally ran for office.

Well, I'm all in support of finally having a woman president.  That in itself will open a lot of doors.

Well, I'm all in support of finally having a woman president.

I am also but Hillary worries me a little because she tends to zig zag quite a bit.  Today she zigs but if someone gets her ear and convinces her that the opposite course is better, she'll zag. 

I will say this though, if it comes down to a choice between Hillary and a republican, I'll vote for Hillary.  If it comes down to a choice between Hillary and Mitt, I'll vote for Hillary twice.
