A CNN poll finds that Republicans are losing the woman vote in a landslide. 59% of all women believe the GOP is out of touch with them. Maybe the party would be better off just giving up this whole War on Women thing.
Former Florida governor and current gubernatorial candidate Charlie Christ says Gov. Rick Scott's refusal to expand Medicaid under Obamacare makes him responsible for "six deaths a day." I sense a PolitiFact ruling coming on that one, so keep your eyes out -- this could haunt other governors who've made the same shameful choice. Like the guy in the next item, fr'instance...

On the subject of campaign finance; Liz Cheney wildly overstated her fundraising haul during her aborted Wyoming Senate campaign. I'm pretty sure this not is illegal (I could be wrong), but it's dishonest as all hell. It's pretty obvious she was trying to start some "wow, she's really popular!" buzz to bump up her lackluster fundraising. She is her father's daughter, after all.
President Obama severely undermines his own messaging about income inequality by signing the farm bill -- and it's $8.7 billion in food assistance cuts -- into law.
Kansas Republican Pat Roberts doesn't live in Kansas -- despite representing the state in the US Senate.
Finally, Rand Paul has a truly bizarre fascination with that whole Clinton/Lewinski thing. So much so, that he actually thinks it's still an issue.
