Howard Dean claims a “family commitment” will keep him from tomorrow’s gay DNC fundraiser. Uh huh.

Wasn’t he governor of Vermont when same-sex marriage was passed?

Howard Dean is a rare politician, who actually has kept some sense of prioritizing his personal values and integrity above winning at political gamesmanship…He’s a true ally to our community. I’ve always liked him, though many in the DNC do not…he is a threat to their “pay lip service, but do nothing” support for us. We need more like him…
Ed
Good move, Howard … I’d do the same!

The DNC should pay attention to this guy. His 50 state strategy..which they mocked for ages is probably what gave Obama such a solid win in the General election. If Dean is skipping this it should be a heads up to the DNC.

No, I was right. From the AP:

MONTPELIER, Vt. – Vermont on Tuesday became the fourth state to legalize gay marriage — and the first to do so with a legislature’s vote.

Well, obviously he wasn’t the governor when it happened. But he’s from the state. And yes, he is an ally. Go Howard.
