Yesterday had some interesting primary results. North Carolina passed an amendment barring benefits to same-sex and non-married-heterosexual couples. Dick Lugar, Indian Senator and senior Republican member of the U.S. Senate lost renomination to a Teapartier by 20%. Also, President Obama won the West Virginia Democratic Presidential primary, with 59% of the vote. The remaining 41% went to some guy serving a 17-year sentence in a Texas prison.

MILWAUKEE – President Obama has opened the first significant lead of the 2012 campaign in the nation’s dozen top battleground states, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll finds, boosted by a huge shift of women to his side…In the fifth Swing States survey taken since last fall, Obama leads Republican front-runner Mitt Romney 51%-42% among registered voters just a month after the president had trailed him by two percentage points.

The biggest change came among women under 50. In mid-February, just under half of those voters supported Obama. Now more than six in 10 do while Romney’s support among them has dropped by 14 points, to 30%. The president leads him 2-1 in this group.

Considering all that led up to today, this was totally expected.

Research from where?
I don't know what study he's specifically talking about, but there's this from a few years ago:

Whether he was correct or not, I am totally not getting what the big deal is. It sounded like a perfectly reasonable statement.
1: How can any major campaign not know that it is now impossible to etch-a-sketch in an era of 24-7 cable news, cell phone videos, the Internet, and YouTube?
Um... it actually happens all the time?

And even if he's wrong.... so what? Are we so starving for entertainment that it takes this bit of inocuousness to get us off?

That gives a whole new meaning to "Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas any more!" being a supposed favorite line for some gay men.
