Let's all hope that the 'Buffet Rule' is passed into law.

It will certainly help the current administration's case for re-election.

54% of Republican voters prefer non-Romney to Romney. Can he fix that?

(Does he care?)

Well I suppose you could ask Gallup, Marist, CNN/Opinion Research and the other polling outfits whose results are shown at that link where those folks live. It does not appear they are limited to any specific geographic area, however.

ETA: Looks like the number for CA is 47%.

This is why the Republicans are guaranteed to lose - it is their beliefs that are out of touch with reality

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker opened up a new front in the GOP's war against women last week when he overturned his state's equal pay law, which made it easier for workers to sue their employers for wage discrimination.


Walker, a rising star in the Republican party, has come under fire for his decision to repeal the law, which was passed largely to address Wisconsin's huge gap in male and female wages. Since the equal pay law was passed in 2009, the state has risen from 36th to 24th in national gender pay parity rankings.
I wonder if Romney will voice his support for Walker's decision? It would be the severely conservative thing to do.

Meanwhile, a WI state senator puts it all into perspective:

Quote:
According to him [Grothman], wage gaps are not the result of discrimination, but actually just a reflection of the fact that men and women prioritize earning money differently.

"You could argue that money is more important for men," he said. "I think a guy in their first job, maybe because they expect to be a breadwinner someday, may be a little more money-conscious. To attribute everything to a so-called bias in the workplace is just not true.”*

*Women are actually primary or co-breadwinner in two-thirds of American households.
