By Advocate.com Editors
BARACK OBAMA DNC DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE X390 (GETTY) | ADVOCATE.COM
President Barack Obama's reelection campaign will look vastly different from
his landmark 2008 campaign toward the presidency, and one big change will
be the uptick in engagement with LGBT voters.
As other more affluent groups have fallen in support for the president, the
campaign staff are looking to bring on more gay people in key fundraising
roles. According to Politico, there was only one openly gay person on Obama'
s finance committee during the 2008 election. For 2012, there are 15 so far.
In addition to Obama campaign veteran and Democratic National Committee
treasurer Andrew Tobias, campaign finance director Rufus Gifford is openly
gay, and was a top fundraiser in California. His partner, Jeremy Bernard, is
the White House Social Secretary, which Politico describes as an unofficial
fundraising position.
After the pending repeal of "don't ask, don't tell," the announcement that
the administration will stop defending the federal gay marriage ban in court
, an anti-bullying conference, and the passage of the hate crimes act to
expand prevention and enforcement, the White House is hoping that gays and
lesbians will be willing to be at the forefront of the Obama reelection
campaign. |

当然必要的姿态还是要做的。我怀疑他们的精力永远都侧重在那些所谓摇摆州。
