There are panoply of reasons to back the reelection of President Obama and oppose Mitt Romney, but last week provided one of the starkest contrasts be...
If gay rights truly is one of my generation's biggest issues, shouldn't our political predilections in some way reflect this?
In the last 10 days, team Obama has gone on the offensive, using a two-pronged issue strategy: one economic, and one social, that for about 48 hours put the Romney campaign on its heels.
Yes, I was a boy. I did stupid, youthful "boys-will-be-boys" things -- drinking, smoking and blowing up dog poop with firecrackers, just to name a few -- but never did I lead a group of boys to hold another boy down against his will and cut off his hair.
While some voters would certainly be turned off by a Romney endorsement of gay marriage, many people concerned enough to vote against a rock-solid conservative like Romney over gay marriage alone might also vote against Romney for his Mormon faith.

Last week, the Washington Post produced a front-page story with the news of Mitt Romney leading fellow preppies in cutting the bleach-blond hair of a student at their school. Okay. Let's say it's relevant. Here are some of the stories the Post did not think relevant.
By personally endorsing gay marriage, Obama is planting himself firmly on one side of the Republican invented battle ground -- and he may not do well out of it.
Whatever your political affiliation, this election season will be both virtual and geographic ground zero for making one's voice heard. The objective as always will be to make the message attract as much media and Internet attention as possible.
