Sheriff Christopher v. Sussex County
A little birdie sent in this court filing last night. In it, Sussex County Sheriff Jeff Christopher is filing suit against Sussex County.

North Carolina probably got a little harder to win, since the CW is “well they just banned gay marriage by 20 points, that must mean Obama will lose North Carolina by 20 points now, right?”
Nope.
The Day After
While the newspapers, websites, and cable news channels are filled with chatter and some analysis about President Obama’s support of gay marriage, there is still a long way to go.
