I'm not quite certain how you can force a candidate to stick by the rules.

It's not surprising that you wouldn't see that side of me on television, but in real life I find the world to be quite a funny place.

Mormon leaders said in a statement they will reexamine their ties to the Boy Scouts. "The church," they said, "has always welcomed all boys to its Scouting units regardless of sexual orientation. However, the admission of openly gay leaders is inconsistent with the doctrines of the church and what have traditionally been the values of the Boy Scouts of America."

No parent should be denied from their Scouting - their son's Scouting experience simply because those parents happen to be gay.

Did I say that the President's entire job is image management? Of course not.

People do still cheer for the President. And some of the military audiences are more likely to cheer than others. I have seen him speak lately in front of groups like Freedom House, where the applause was a long time coming.

The latest national polls show a tightening in the race to the White House, especially in key states like Ohio and Florida. But when it comes down to it, winning in November [2016] will depend on which candidate has a viable path to 270 electoral votes.
