- I assume you're talking about Sen. Sam Nunn. He's not up for
- elective office. Clinton is considering him for his cabinet (Sec.
- of Defense?). Clinton was asked at his recent press conference about
- this discrepancy with respect to allowing gays in the military, and replied
- that his appointees don't have to agree with his policies in order to
- implement them, and that in fact it's a bad thing to have only appointees
- who agree with one on everything. Of course, Nunn's opinion suggests
- a larger set of attitudes towards LGB people, beyond just policy detail.
