Of course he did. Axelrod knew how weak his candidate was, and wanted the one that was easiest to attack - thus, Romney, who has succeeded almost entirely by outspending and outmudslinging.

Amen, I am still in the anyone but Obama + anyone but Romney crew, because of the scorched earth Chicago-style campaigning of both of them. Re: Romney - I've never seen someone win the presidential race from the Republican side by destroying any that approach, then expecting their supporters to turn around and support you.

WHA? How do you figure?

NFM - Non-Fox Media

I agree, but good luck with 50+% of people getting more from the govt than they pay out, and everyone brainwashed into thinking in terms of co-pays and "free" coverage.

Yup. This is a great issue to hang Obambicare with, since it is him once again showing his complete lack of respect for the rule of law.

Oops. I missed that. Bad Ann! Couldn't skip the cheap shot against the front runner again. At least it wasn't regurgitated opposition research this time. Again, other than your unfounded Romney fetish, a good article.

YAY! Welcome back! It's so nice to see you writing columns that we actually want to read again, and actually learn something other than Ann likes Romney and doesn't like any of the other nominees. Great article, with excellent points. We absolutely should not let the dinosaur media paint this as a "Catholic" issue, because then they just have to give Catholics a waiver, and suddenly there's not a huge constitutional problem...

Amen to that. The Disney fathers especially, and parents in general are clueless at best, stupid or malicious at worst. And why is it that no disney princesses after Sleeping Beauty have both parents?

I know at least a dozen couples that have struggled to adopt for five years or more, and this repeats all over the U.S. No need to dig a deeper well, just get local, national, and international agencies and governments out of the way.
And realistically, loving male same sex couples are statistically VERY unlikely to be stable, much less likely than hetero couples. Even female couples of child-rearing age are significantly less likely to be stable than heteros.
But an interesting approach.
