Of course it doesn't."<BR/><BR/>Surely you jest! Certainly the sexual orientation matters, as well as his/her religious background, marital situation - pretty much everything about a person matters when they throw their hat into the ring to run for office. All of these factors together give you some indication of the type person you are voting for and the way they will vote on items that come before them.<BR/><BR/>None of these should be the only reason to be for or against a candidate, but they are part of the equation in making an informed decision about a candidate.Sam Jhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01217273789147051558noreply@blogger.com
