Been a busy week, but I must chime in to say that if Mitt Romney thought he could have a relaxing week, or a week where he wasn't on the defensive, he just got pwned. It was masterful. Biden comes out for gay rights, NC loses a same-sex marriage amendment, Obama comes out for gay rights, and then…. BOOM! We … Read More

Is This A Bad Ad?
Karl Rove's PAC put this ad out this week. It's saying that the president is being "cool" while all these problems are going on. Um…. I think it makes Obama look good.

The “Success” Narrative
I can't be the only one who thinks that Romney is going to succeed in his narrative that "Obama is trying to punish success". That's what Romney says.
