I think it's true this time.
Just the fact that gay rights are in the mainstream now is a good sign.

The Tea Party running against chosen GOP candidates is a good sign.
The turning of the tide against Rush Limbaugh is a good sign.
I think the momentum is there.

Even the New York Times has turned against the GOP!
