Ben Quayle, son of former Veep Dan Quayle, gets dinged for appearing in his campaign commercial with kids that weren’t his. But he comes back on day two with a pretty good answer for his critics.

The best (and worst) reactions to the Prop 8 court decision.

I’m not sure which is weirder.

That something like everybody in Nevada public life — including a growing and reasonably substantial number of Republicans — are coming out for Harry Reid and against Sharron Angle.

Or that Sharron Angle could very well still win in November.

Now Lois Tarkanian, wife of the former UNLV coach and mother of Danny Tarkanian, who Angle beat in the primary, is going to campaign tomorrow with Reid to “call out Sharron Angle’s extreme and dangerous positions against Nevada’s working families.”

For weeks the second and third place candidates for the Tennessee Republican gubernatorial nomination have been battling it out to see if they could say something crazy enough to take the lead away from Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam.

Rep. Zach Wamp threatened to have Tennessee secede from the United States over Health Care Reform unless voters force its repeal before 2012. Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey said the 1st Amendment may not apply to Islam since its a cult and not a religion.

Tonight though the relatively moderate Haslam crushed Wamp and Ramsey, beating first runner up Wamp by 19 points.

Google, not terribly convincingly, says the New York Times article about an alleged deal with Verizon to end Net Neutrality is wrong.

New report from AP on the lengths to which the Bush Administration went to hide suspected terrorist detainees from the U.S. court system.

A revealing interview on CNN with Rep. Bob Inglis (R-SC) who got tea partied right out of office, losing in the GOP primary. He gives a taste of the Crazy he encountered on the campaign trail. Watch.

Months ago we brought you the news of Bobby Thompson and his charity the U.S. Navy Veterans Association (USNVA). Thompson gave a $55,000 contribution to the campaign of now-Virginia AG Ken Cuccinelli after Cuccinelli hit him up for a big contribution. But, as it turned out, Thompson’s work was being probed in several states and there was a lot of evidence he and his whole operation were complete frauds. (Michele Bachmann also got some of his money. Until a week ago Cuccinelli had said he wouldn’t give back the money until there was formal proof Thompson was a fraud.)

And then some, it turns out.

Now the Ohio AG has issued a nation-wide arrest warrant for “Bobby Thompson.” And we have to use quotes because apparently his name isn’t even Bobby Thompson. “Bobby Thompson” the scammer apparently stole the identity and Social Security number of a real Bobby Thompson. So they don’t even know the guy’s name. In any case, if you see him, let Ken Cuccinelli know. And the AG in Ohio too.

Colbert fears the worst after the Prop 8 decision. Watch.

Krugman reminds us that the House GOP’s budget blueprint, as espoused by Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), “works” only insofar as you’re willing to buy into a whole series of completely unrealistic assumptions about future revenue and spending.
