The AP's optimistic about ENDA. Considering the fact that 90% of Americans support job protections for LGB people and 65% of Americans support such protections for trans people, we shouldn't have to be waiting for the stars to align when we already have a Democratic Congress and a Democratic president who says he supports the bill. But that's the new reality, where anyone to the left of GWB is a crazed dirty ->-bleeped-<-ing hippie, and everything can be put at risk by the a hecklers' veto from a minority of the country that will never go along with anything.
Anyway, they cite several conditions as being better than in 2007, including the shifts in the House, Senate, and White House (thank you, voters). But they also spend a few paragraphs discussing the game change Barney Frank's hiring of Diego Sanchez caused.
