It may well bring back lefty voters who were disgusted with how centrist Obama has been, actually. The people who might have sat out on the left.
Yeah, I don't know that it's enough, but it can't hurt.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Could possibly turn out the youth vote.
I have friends list people who are libertarian who are all, "this is excellent, both in that he's right and that it will cost him the election."
I think one could go surfing on the cognitive dissonance.

If it looks like any kind of winner, Romney will say he did it first. By not. Or something. Seriously, if people show up, he can get a second term and do *All The Things.
- This means that this is not The West Wing, so he may get stopped from Some Things. But it's not the Wire either, so he's not getting an envelope from Clay Davis in the parking lot.

Has anyone heard this pronunciation? The word is Highmark, and the lady from Minnesota is pronouncing it Hehmerk.

Yeah, I don't know that it's enough, but it can't hurt.
I figure he'll probably get more votes from the disillusioned left than he'll lose from the anti-gay right.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I am glad that Obama spoke up for gay marriage, but I kind wish he had done it before yesterday's vote. Then again, that vote is probably what prompted him to take a public stance.

Ann, that's a ferret.
It wouldn have been nice, Burrell, but the vote was so lopsided that Obama's endorsement wouldn't have made a difference.

Eh. I'm not too excited about it, because he still is all "states should decide!" which means he's not angling for federal bennies or anything. So...it changes nothing, for me.
After the Romney event where a woman was calling Obama a traitor, someone pointed out that for him to be a traitor he'd have to be a citizen ... not that THAT's going to stop any of the nonsense.
So, can we kill Michelle Bachmann now that she's a Swiss citizen? (SURELY there is some sort of "sitting legislators can't be citizens of other countries" law???)
