Reply #19: it would depend upon the Demcoratic challenger

if they were equal or nearly equal then endorse Obama, but if you had a clearly better from a gay rights perspective candidate then endorse that candidate. I think Obama's record should let him win both ties and close calls. I think in the general Obama should get the nod. As to your other question. I don't know all of Johnson's positions on civil rights but if we were to end the war on drugs that alone would be a huge civil rights coup given the disproportionate impact it has on minorities.
