++Arizona employees can be fired for using contraceptives according to a new edict.
++Arizona looks like it is in play for Obama. Gee, what makes you think so?
++In reviewing Pope Benedict's declaration of war on all matters sexual in the United States, it occurred to me that we legalized everything years ago at the Supreme Court level and now for same sex marriages doing so at the state level.
++Opus Dei candidate Rick Santorum was in Puerto Rico lecturing them on learning English before they can become a state. You wonder why the Chicago Tribune editorial today commented on the GOP as white and male and losers. The Tribune made a point of showing how GOP's lack of outreach to Hispanics as the fastest rising voter group has cost them California, which once was a swing state. And look at Arizona and New Mexico.
++Charles Blow picked up on the Pew Poll and elaborated even more. Obama leads Romney in every region of the country. Blow also pointed to the demographic death wish of the GOP. By the time of the general election,enough seniors may die off to give that last cohort to Obama so he can make a clean sweep.
++A note about Nate the Great. Nate Silver yesterday wrote on his blog a post that contradicted my view yesterday that Romney was the second choice of Gingrich voters. Nate claims 57% would go to Santorum and about one quarter would go to Romney. (Note: Nate blew the call on Alabama and Mississippi when he said a Santorum double win was the least probable outcome.)
++About oil prices, while Americans tend to blame oil companies and Middle East tensions rather than Obama, will they give Obama credit for the price decreases? Obama and Prime Minister Cameron agreed to release some of the strategic reserves to lower oil prices. We have yet to learn about what the Department of Justice's speculation unit finds.
++Remember those corny photo-ops with President Obama and veterans and him announcing hiring veterans programs. Never made the headlines. But the jobless rate of veterans is now down to 7.6%, lower than the national rate. This is a full five points below last year's 12.5%. Think these programs had anything to do with them.
++The new jobless claims for the general population are at a four-year low.
++Yes, Pat Robertson did endorse oral sex in a marital relationship. Those naughty leftists are trying to spin it the other way by quoting his remark to those hesitant about engaging in the act, "If you feel it's a sin, then it's a sin." He was just being pastoral in easing his flock's discomfort. Pat also came out for decriminalizing marijuana because it is a waste of money and leads to higher rates of imprisonment of minorities. Amen, Brother.
++Should Newt Gingrich quite the race (speaking of oral sex)? No, there is no compelling reason for him. If he limps along to the convention, he can dream he is the kingmaker. The latest Beltway wisdom (cough) is that Willard can not reach the number of necessary delegates to cinch it beforehand. Of course, the same applies to everyone else.
