Yesterday was a big day for equality in two of Delaware's next door neighbors. In Maryland, the Maryland House of Delegates passed their gay marriage bill. It now heads to the Maryland Senate, where passage is assured, because the Senate passed the bill last year but it died in the House. Thus, with Governor Martin O'Malley's promised signature, Maryland will become the 8th state to allow gay marriage. In New Jersey, the New Jersey Assembly also finally passed their gay marriage bill after a previous failed attempt in 2009. However, the obese one, Governor Chris Christie, swiftly vetoed the bill, cowardly and unconstitutionally hiding behind the notion that he wants the issue to go to a referendum so that the majority can take the rights of the minority away. Like a true fascist, Chris Christie loves that idea.

Benefiting from widespread doubts about Mitt Romney’s authenticity and ideological commitment, Genghis has changed the shape of the race by sounding sharp populist themes that resonate with supporters of the tea party. “Mitt Romney wants to manage Washington, D.C.,” he told an enthusiastic crowd in Scottsdale, Arizona. “I want to burn it to the ground, slay its inhabitants, and stack their skulls in pyramids reaching to the sky.”

First, no referendum PowerPoint, just straight to the talk. Which was fine with me. The superintendent, Merv Daugherty, began with opening statements, in which his point was... I'm not sure. He's proud of our all schools. His door is always open. Everyone has his phone number and we can call him any time. Okay, standard speech given at all schools.

Romney’s Chances

That map is from noted political scientist and prognosticater Larry Sabato. Now, when I look at that map, I see extreme danger for Mitt Romney. Larry doesn't, because he assumes Romney will win Michigan and Ohio. I don't.
