Obama will win, he just got the gay vote to tip the balance.

He already had that.

Not sure about it. A lot of gays were disappointed with him, and if Romney came across as sympathetic to gays and Obama didn't do anything in that area, they could have just stayed home.

But Romney fucked that up with the gay dude he threw under the bus and Obama has done some quick appeal work, so that vote is coming.

Incidentally, gay vote doesn't just mean gays but also their close families.

Romney threw a gay under the bus AND reaffirmed his opposition to civil unions "if they are equal to marriage in all but name" (why else would anybody lobby for it then, moron?).  His score on domestic social issues is gonna be pretty damn low once they start tallying the scorecards.
Experience bij!

No it doesn't.  Plenty of people have the good sense to feel fear and shame because of a gay family member.

The scorecards are not going to matter, as usual.

Mitt is now claiming that what he meant by the auto bailout comment is that he warned Wubya to not hand them a check without first forcing them in to bankruptcy so they could shed their union contracts.

Problem with this version is I don't remember Wubya talking about cutting the auto companies a check, with or without bankruptcy.

Yeah, that doesn't make much sense.  I'll wait and see if tomorrow's version is more logical.
