An example of the extreme intolerance of the religious right: Mitt Romney's scheduled commencement speech to Jerry Falwell's Liberty University.

Which means that the Liberty U cultists will have a lot of enemies in the coming years; Pew finds that one in four people under thirty have no religious affiliation at all.
Ed Kilgore on state level Republicans and activists, Mitt Romney, 2012, and 2016: "[R]ight wing leaders don’t seem particularly invested in winning the presidency — at least not in 2012.

Finally, the Lyrid meteor shower peaks tonight and, with a new moon. it should be an excellent night for viewing -- weather permitting.
