Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) gave us a hint earlier today on why the Democrats are trying to move quickly to repeal Don’t Ask Don’t Tell.
The Senator said that it would be “a lot harder” to repeal the Clinton-era law down the line if Democrats suffer losses during the election. Republicans have already begun lining up to stop the repeal, and the math for passing the measure gets more tricky with each Senate Democrat that is unseated in November.
