http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/10/kansas-caucus-results-2012_n_1336017.html Santorum is considered the likely winner in today's caucus in Kansas. You can watch the real time map above.

Of course the GOP are down playing the job numbers today, but having consistent job growth for two years is impressive and I think if it grew any faster then it would be from gimmicks instead of proper growth. I think the bigger issue though are the chronic unemployed or long term unemployed. I think having this chart on his watch is not a bad thing for the upcoming election cycle.

This is great, good job Onion! Heartbroken Santorum Condemns Gay Marriage For Two-Timing Jerks Like Nick Wiseman An emotional Rick Santorum stepped up his anti-gay rhetoric this week, saying jerks like Philadelphia's Nicholas Wiseman should not be allowed to marry a man they barely know when there's someone out there who truly cares for them.

Such a great video. Please share. Fran Drescher officiates a gay wedding.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/06/super-tuesday-2012-results_n_1324709.html This is a pretty good live map of results of Super Tuesday. I'm surprised that it is still completely divisive on the results. This means that this all will continue for weeks to come. That can only be good for the Democrats. However, all seem to agree that once a GOP candidate is selected that the voting base will pool their support. Do you think that will happen this time? Now it looks like Romney has moved ahead in Ohio just barely with 85% votes reporting. . .(11:11PM EST)

China Acts to Give Defendants Greater Rights. Could this be the first act of a more democratic society? Probably not. But I like reading stories like this. I met so many nice people while working in China that want a democratic society. I hope that it can eventually be achieved. http://nyti.ms/x4kC4N

Website of the Day: America Under Water. Very interesting web page regarding the mortgage situation state by state. http://www.americaunderwater.org/

Love stuff like this. So much of Leviticus is broken daily by even the most devout Christians, yet it's the main thing saying 'gays are evil'...

Newt Gingrich won Georgia in the primaries today. Not really a surprise. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/06/georgia-primary-2012-results-map_n_1315075.html

I thought about heading this: "Obama Is Toast", but you never know. How is he going to manufacture new jobs when consumers have cut spending, manufacturers have adjusted to lower levels of employees, and Republicans are out to stop him at any cost to the nation? Our president has been outmaneuvered by the Republicans to his great embarrassment. He looks like a junior president, and the nation has picked up on it. Sure enough, he gives a great speech, but what can he say next week that will make a difference? Not much, in my opinion.

The New Yorker hit the spot this week with their cover. Very funny.

First they inject Willard into national politics for us and now they're not (yet) making the right choice for senate? Third poll shows Brown ahead of Warren in Massachusetts I luv Elizabeth Warren, have hopes for her for much more in 2016, but if she can't beat this schmuck...

Good job Mad, didn't realize you were still around!

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2012/03/andrew-breitbart-new-lede-all-.html The conservative commentator and also darling of the tea party died suddenly in Los Angeles today of natural causes, which seems an odd "cause" to me since he was so young.

HuffPo article. Not sure why I care, but this mans unchecked hypocrisy always stuns me.

Three GOP congressional leaders are appealing a federal judge’s ruling that declared a law prohibiting the government from recognizing same-sex marriages to be unconstitutional, according to court papers filed Friday. Private lawyers for the Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group notified the federal court in San Francisco that they are asking the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to review the decision issued by District Judge Jeffrey White this week. Ruling in the case of a lawyer who works for the appeals court and who had been blocked from enrolling her wife in a family health insurance plan, White said the Office of Personnel Management could not rely on the 1996 Defense …

In watching CNN, they project Romney a winner in Arizona and he gets all of the delegates there. For Michigan, they are very very close. With nearly 20% of the vote in Romney has 41% to Santorum's 39% in Michigan. But they have been going back and forth all night long so far. Lots of votes to still be counted in Michigan.

Especially if they are all white men on the committee. . .

Jane Lynch visited briefly with Mitt Romney at a NASCAR pre-event and it was clear to her that not only was he not paying attention to their conversation, she realized that he has no idea what so ever how to relate to real people. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/28/jane-lynch-mitt-romney-meeting_n_1306997.html?ref=gay-voices

This should be posted at all GOP conventions and meetings. . .

Now this is creative. This is made up of thousands of gay porn pictures to make Rick Santorum. . .

Anybody here live in an open primary state?

Sometimes liberals go too far. Some are even wackos when you explore their limits. But all in all I more comfortable with that community than with the alternative. Lawrence O'Donnel explains succinctly why he is proud to be a liberal. I think he has some good reasons.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/24/jeb-bush-2012-gop-debate-republican-primary_n_1299190.html I think Jeb Bush's warning was spot on. You appeal and focus too much on the far right in the primaries then you irritate the independents and the middle when it comes time for the general election. Of course if they were smarter they would know this already.

Santorum blasts Obama during Cumming rally Eww eww eww eww! They're doing it on purpose now... I like it!
