How can Florida Gov. Rick Scott steal the election for Mitt Romney?

cognitivedissonance:think-progress:

Easy enough — he’s created an error-filled list of “ineligible voters”, which targets thousands of Democratic and Hispanic voters.

Here’s how it would work.

Voter suppression is real. Educate yourself.

All the single ladies (All the single ladies) All the single ladies (All the single ladies) …could apparently cost Mitt Romney the presidency.

Stephanie Mencimer reports:

While Romney leads Obama among married women by about 9 points, Obama blows him away among single women by 36 points. This matters: There are 55 million single women in the United States. If they got motivated, they are a big enough block to swing the election.

Mitt Romney now says he opposes same-sex adoption

“Not only does this bland answer show little respect for nearly two million childrenbeing raised by LGBT parents, but it’s also horribly misinformed. Adoption laws vary widely from state to state with little consistency between them. In only 18 states and the District of Columbia can same-sex parents can petition for joint adoption. There are 12 (some of which overlap with the 18) that allow for second-parent adoption. And if same-sex couples wish to serve as foster parents, there are only seven states that guarantee their right to do so. Because of the disparity of laws and the absence of any written policy in many states, judges often make their own decisions and families can never be sure in which states their adoption will be recognized.

Romney has a long history of dissembling on the issue of same-sex adoption. In 2007, he appeared to support the right of same-sex couples to adopt, saying “obviously, that’s their right.” But last year, a Romney spokesman said that same-sex adoption “should be assessed on a state-by-state basis.””

The ThinkProgress team actually paused what we were doing to watch this throwdown (quite rare).

Hey, whaddya know? Another Republican bully.

She deserves a medal, a raise, a promotion, and a parade in her honor!

Yes. Good for her.

“Back in high school I did some dumb things and if anybody was hurt by that or offended by that I apologize,” he told reporters. “I certainly don’t believe that I thought the fellow was homosexual. That was the furthest thing from our minds back in the 1960s.”
— Mitt Romney, apologizing for leading his prep school classmates in an assault on a student they thought was gay. Did we say “apologizing”? Maybe that’s not the right word. (via motherjones)
