nah. gay republicans aren't THAT rare (I know a couple, personally) they just tend to favor tax and economic issues to the exclusion of all else.

Apparently Trump is going to reveal that Michelle filed for divorce in 2000
Chickens voting for Colonel Sanders.
Loveless marriage confirmed, Obama is abusing Hillary on a nightly basis in the basement dungeon beneath the State Department.
how is that anything but a terrible terrible idea?

Where was this guy 8 years ago?
"I was chosen from binders of senators and I learned my job well enough that when I went home my dog was growling at me so obviously I changed something," Kerry told reporters in the "spin room" before the Monday's presidential debate here

Well apparently she changed her mind.

Same. I was actually just explaining that situation to my girlfriend. Really hope we don't have another disparity between PV and EC again this year.
Donald Trump, the irrelevant nutjob reality show star?
Its Trump.
Neither will I. There are fewer groups of voters that I have more contempt for, to be honest. Hell, one of the first questions I asked my partner (Southern/country-boy/military) 16 years ago on Date #1 was, "Please - tell me you're not a Republican?"
That helps Romney, how? I hope he really does do that shit. Obama could use some sympathy coverage right now lol

If there were any gay (or pro-gay) Republicans who weren't eager and willing to enable anti-gay Republicans, they wouldn't call themselves Republicans.
As long as anti-gay social conservatives are a vital part of the national GOP coalition, there's little to nothing they can do to change the party from within.

It's always sad when I talking with older men who are so sexy and smart, only to find out later they are Republicans.
I'm sure whatever it is. it will be covered with slime.
I've seriously lost all respect for Trump. I used to be a big fan of the Apprentice.

Like how we scrapped the electoral college after 2000?
Color me skeptical. As of the last 40 years or so, we essentially do not pass amendments any more. The most recently proposed amendment that was passed was proposed in 1971. The country is so divided I don't know if we'll ever see another amendment passed. Secession and a new constitutional convention may be more likely than that.
Spoiler that shit man come on!

yeah, I checked the numbers across the county after your post spurred me to do it. He actually won my municipality convincingly.
It looks like there are only a few townships where it was really close or he lost outright, and that was yours (springfield), marple township, Aston, and chadds ford. marple, aston, and chadds make sense, because all three are fairly wealthy and nowhere close to the city iirc (they're on the edge of the county), but springfield going mccain when everything around it went obama, both higher (swarthmore, nether providence) and lower (clifton, aldan, folcroft) on the economic scale is a bit of a head scratcher.

If I was Romney, I would tell Trump to bottle that shit up.
That's going to backfire on Romney big time.

It's pretty hard to believe that was kept secret for 12 years.
It does make Obama slightly more Reaganesque, though.
How so?
yup. that would be the worst thing they could do right now. oh i hope that is it lol
The public is going to view it as pathetic, desperate mudslinging of the worst kind: the type that fucks with intimate family members. And what makes it truly worthless is that the public are very familiar with Michelle and Barack Obama, and view them as having a very affectionate marriage... and surely should such news break, Obama and Michelle are going to laugh it up and make them look like little children in the process.
Best case scenario.

Trump is a bullshitter. He has no dirt on Obama.
Like Romney has any control over his surrogates
He'd be attacking Obama on his personal life and that never goes well.

Did my part and voted in Iowa today. I shall wear my little "I VOTED" pin with honor.
I'm so sorry.
Trump is a surrogate for him and has appeared at and hosted events for him

Why? Romney has nothing to do with it.
The story isn't old either; Ed Klein peddled it in his bullshit book earlier this year. Perhaps Trump has the papers. I'd give it credence in the sense that it has always seemed like there was something wrong with the couple, or at least Michelle.
It's kinda funny how back home in Europe I was a left-centrist, while in the US I'd probably be considered a communist with my opinions... Definitely far left of the Dems.
Please don't make a massive mistake Nov 6th, my friends.
Also, am I seeing this right, there's no chance that Dems will get the House of Representatives, but a high chance that they'll get the Senate, right? What will be the impact of that? Same as the past 4 years with Republicans blocking anything getting done?

Don't have this attitude. Every vote for Obama counts cos he will be labeled as weak if he does win w/o the popular vote
Pretty much. Unless Democrats reform the filibuster.

If such a think happens, all Obama needs to do is proclaim mandate (like W).
It's like I said last night, MSNBC has quietly become the best US news network. They still carry some idiots, but they do the closest thing to actual investigative journalism that you're going to find on US TV (unless you get AJE).
less to do with hurting romney and more to do with helping obama.
helping obama hurts romney.

The 6th feels so far away still, I wish it was today. Right now I debating if I want to early vote or not. On one hand I could get it out of the way, but on the other its my first election and I kinda want to experience voting on the 6th.
Go talk to someone, seriously.

It's hard to say.
Democrats taking the house is the longest of long shots. but they can take enough seats that boehner is forced to compromise to get things passed. (Remember, he has NO control over the tea partiers.)
The senate is almost assuredly going to stay dem unless by some miracle (say, trump has an obama/palin sex tape) obama gets blown out.
what needs to happen though, is for romney to lose- otherwise ridiculous, across the board obstruction gets validated as a political tactic, and we repeat the last 4 years in congress for the next decade and a half. Having it fail and everyone get back to acting like adults is necessary.
It's sad how the only real journalist left in CNN is Soledad.
So Obama would get to make the right wing look like nutbags and double down on the strength of family bonds and the insitution of marriage?
Go for it Trumpy.

Every gay republican kid I've ever meet has sounded, frankly, naive. The typical attitude: act super responsible and "above merely voting for one issue". They say they're all about fiscal responsibility and economic conservatism. And act like the GOP hasn't sold its soul to whackjob religious extremists and a base from poor states with poor education and high levels of racism. They've all bought into the narrative that they're doing the adult thing - changing the party from within.
But as stated, that can't happen as long as the GOP is addicted to social conservatism and panders to the retrograde elements of American society. If the GOP was merely neutral, they might be on to to something.

Wow if Trump comes out with that. That will have no effect on anything whatsoever.
The kind of coverage that PBS does on shows like Frontline makes MSNBC look like Channel 1 News.
Any source?
Obama would actually get a bounce from that in the polls, I would think.
