It's not all Rouge and Rogue-ing in the Republican party this week.

From HuffPo:

Massachusetts Republican gubernatorial hopeful Charlie Baker has picked an openly gay running mate.

Baker announced that he had picked State Senate Minority Leader Richard Tisei on his campaign website and Facebook page.

"Richard has years of experience fighting for the taxpayer on Beacon Hill and I'm thrilled to have him on the team," Baker said in a statement.

"It is not exactly a news flash," Tisei said of his sexuality. "I don't think people really care these days."

While I think this is a nice step forward, I think Tisei is a little 'off' when he claims "I don't think people really care these days." ...Is he NOT aware of some of the biggest social issues in the US "these days"????
