And actually Obama posted the photo of these two women kissing on his Flickr page which to …

“Barack Obama’s self-described ‘evolution’ on same sex marriage appears likely to end with a strategically timed (if low-key) pre-election announcement of his support for marriage equality. [snip] Having the President publicly endorse marriage equality will be an important symbolic and substantive turning point. It would likely accelerate the pro-equality shift in public opinion, including in minority communities. It will make …

“When the blow comes, it’s going to be horrible.” Maybe Pat needs to find himself a better dealer.

Business Insider crows that the president is “surging” because he’s now essentially tied against that mysterious “generic” GOP candidate. Incumbents running for reelection underperform in this sort of poll, which allows voters to imagine their ideal candidate running against Obama. When placed in a head-to-head match-up with the GOP field, Obama performs even better. Obama has also gained tremendously among …
