Saturday Morning Open Thread

Good morning.

It's definitely a busy weekend of campaigning.

The President is heading to Boston to do a couple of events with Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick. According to most polls, Patrick is ahead of his GOP opponent, Charlie Baker. But, it's close. The third party candidate, Timothy Cahill, who was a Democrat, is tanking.

Tomorrow, Obama is heading to Ohio. He'll be in Cleveland at a fundraiser for Governor Ted Strickland. Then, he's heading to Columbus for a DNC fundraiser and a rally on the campus of Ohio State University. Michelle Obama will be traveling with the President. The race for Governor has tightened up over the past couple weeks. But, Strickland is trailing former Congressman/Lehman Bros. Exec. John Kasich.

The Veep is laying low today. Tomorrow, he'll be in Allentown campaigning for John Callahan, who is running in Pennsylvania's 15th CD.

There's not a lot of great news out there. But, keep an eye on Alaska. Democrat Scott McAdams keeps moving up in the polls as teabagger Joe Miller and Lisa Murkowski duke it out.

As of now, DADT is not the law of the land. But, the Obama administration is working hard to bring it back. Everyone agrees that gay servicemembers should not come out.
