In a six-candidate race, is 10 percent a big number? You bet, it's a huge number.

Private polls have shown that his endorsement has actually moved votes.

I will bet my bottom dollar that it will bring a significant number of gay and lesbian votes to Cuomo. On the other hand, could Sean, if he ran his campaign smartly, still walk away with a bulk of the lesbian and gay votes? He could.

She is now more than ever a very important, highly visible, very credible leader in the LGBT community. Her endorsement absolutely says to a lot of gay people who might not know much about that race or Andrew Cuomo in particular that, from her point of view, he represents her values, which are generally progressive and certainly gay friendly.

Sean has earned the support of both the Pride Agenda and Victory Fund because he is what we are constantly searching for from our community—a quality candidate, well versed in public service.
