Received a call to my cell phone, which is interesting. It was an auto message asking me if I knew who the current Insurance Commissioner was. I had the option of pushing 1 for yes or 2 for no. Obviously, I pushed 1. The second question asked me if the current Insurance Commissioner was 1) Matt Denn, 2) Karen Weldin Stewart or 3) Mitch Crane.

New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez (R) “has lost a hair stylist thanks to her position against gay marriage,” KOB TV reports.

Says Antonio Darden, a popular stylist who runs Antonio’s Hair Studio in Santa Fe: “The governor’s aides called not too long ago, wanting another appointment to come in. Because of her stances and her views on this I told her aides no. They called the next day, asking if I’d changed my mind about taking the governor in and I said no again.”

Welcome to 2012 – The Year of the Women. And women are furious. And while Romney may have won last night’s debate, he’s losing women. Take a look inside at a chart from TPM. Look what happened to Romney’s favorability among women once the contraception debate entered the discussion. And make no mistake, this is a debate about contraception.

The Attorney General was smart to pass up a run at the Senate in 2010, after having much of his first term as Attorney General taken up by his deployment to Iraq. Now, after more time and accomplishment in the job, particularly including his role in the 49 state mortgage settlement, he has a record, and it seems we like that record. He has a 70% approval rating, coming in second to Lt. Governor Matt Denn as one of the most popular politicians in Delaware.
