Well (5.00 / 1) (#26)

The McClurkin thing wasn't in itself a deal breaker for me
It was for me--at least in the primary.

He has had multiple opportunities to make it right, but he just keeps digging in.

I was willing to wait and see, but the more he digs in on it, the less willing to cut him a break on it I become.

I know plenty of folks who walked away from him then, and I understand it quite well.

My primary vote is done, so at this point I'm personally looking toward the general. That may help clarify my litmus test thing -- I will only vote for candidates in general elections who take us at least a bit in the right direction. I don't need them to be perfect, but I do need them to represent some real progress. In this case, I shouldn't have too much trouble on that front with either potential nominee, though I really do find Clinton better versed on queer issues (or at least more willing to talk about them more specifically).

to me is more in denial of his sexuality than homophobic.  He's just plain pathetic.
