I should say that Mr. Poe has a far better chance of being found out in a compromising position with a closeted Republican incumbent than he does with most Dems.

Not that there aren't any, mind you, but they seem to attract more closeted self-hating gays, whereas the ones on the Dem side are usually not so closeted.

And, after all, if you can't have a nice oak-appointed closet - or at least a comfortable nook with leather upholstery - it just takes half the fun out of it ...
