Mayor Pete's Support. My 2 cents.

It doesn't matter that some people will not vote for Mayor Pete if he is the nominee because he
is gay because those people will never vote democratic anyway. Just like the same people who
wouldn't vote for Barack Obama because he is black because those voters were already gone.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

It's not at all an issue for Democrats and frankly most Republicans too (well those we have a chance of winning over to our side).

Mayor Pete definately a viable candidate.

and AA said he thought a lot of AAs would not vote for Pete because he was gay. Having worked in a Democratic county headquarters in the south, they have always had an issue with a gay candidate. I don't think it is as bad as it was at one time but for older AAs it is still an issue.
