After it was confirmed earlier this month that the Log Cabin Republicans had skidded into $100K after a poor fundraising year, it wasn't clear if the organization, which endorsed John McCain and Sarah Palin in 2008, was going to stay afloat.
The Washington Blade reports that some unidentified deep pockets threw the LCRs a lifeline.
A number of donors have come to the rescue of the Log Cabin Republicans in an attempt to alleviate the group's debt of at least $100,000, according to Patrick Sammon, the group's outgoing president.
Sammon confirmed earlier this month that his organization had at least $100,000 in consolidated debt. He told the Blade Wednesday that a number of donors have recently committed "upwards of $125,000" to the organization.

That'll allow them another year of being really meaningless.

While I think they could use their time more profitably on other activities, if the Log Cabin Republicans can soften Republican opposition to gays and lesbians (I don't think trans is on their radar) then they will have done God's work. Good luck to them.
