Well, our merry band of of liberal ladies gathered for warm drinks at Bistro Romano last evening and we were discussing the growing buzz that GLBT lioness Renee Gellinger may run for Vincent Fumo's state senate seat. These rumors were confirmed over the weekend with an extesnive phone poll taking place that measured support and other items about Renee. It was obvious to those who received it that the poll was coming from Fumo's camp. Few of us at Bistro Romano know Gellinger beyond her reputation, which is quite substantive. She has been here for years, working quietly with various groups to imrove the lot of all of us. She would be a formidable challenger to Fumo. And she has substance behind her. I wonder if the prospect of a three-way race would scare her off though. Does anyone know her more personally?
