Kansas Senator Sam Brownback, a recent convert to the Catholic faith, has the backing of former Domino's Pizza head Tom Monaghan. A staunch supporter of traditional Catholicism, Monaghan's presence on the Brownback team can bring a lot money to the Republican's fledgling presidential campaign--but baggage as well. Not all Catholics agree with Monaghan's view of the Church.
As for Brownback, I've noticed in blog-searches that his strong opposition to gay marriage has made him the least favorite Republican among the gay community, or at least gay bloggers. Some derisively refer to the senator as "Brownback Mountain." Assuming he officially announces a run for the presidency, the Kansan risks being unofficially tagged as the anti-gay candidate.
