Thursday Morning Open Thread

Good morning.

Still waiting for the White House to decide its next step in the wake of the DADT injunction. We're expecting some kind of development today. The DOJ will probably seek a stay and could file its notice of appeal now, instead of waiting 60 days. In any event, it's a real political mess for the White House. And, it's a mess of their creation.

Today, the President is doing a Town Hall meeting tonight that will be broadcast on MTV, BET and CMT. It's aimed at reaching youth voters and he'll take questions via Twitter. Maybe one of the viewers can tweet Obama a question about LGBT equality. We haven't heard much from him on that subject for awhile.

Biden is the featured guest at a fundraiser for Indiana Senate candidate Brad Ellsworth today. Tonight, he's hosting an event for Hispanic Heritage Month.

Michelle Obama is waking up in Chicago today after a day of campaigning in Wisconsin and Illinois. She's heading for Colorado later today to campaign for Michael Bennet.

And, um, the press is paying way, way, way too much attention to the Delaware Senate debate. O'Donnell is down by 20 points. People in the traditional media know that, right? Does Wolf Blitzer know?

It was very cool to see Nate Silver on the TODAY Show as the political expert. He sure is.
