Time remaining before the 2012 Republican presidential primary gets underway on Wednesday, Nov. 3.

67%

Percent of all registered voters who view Sarah Palin as not qualified to be president, according to a new ABC/Washington Post poll — a figure that has not changed since spring. In an interview with Mary Hart on “Entertainment Tonight” yesterday, Palin all but acknowledged that she plans to run for president in 2012.

This may be the most compelling of the “It Gets Better” series. Evangelist Oral Roberts had a gay son who committed suicide. Randy Roberts Potts is Oral’s grandson and, like his late uncle, he is gay. This is his story in his own words.

The Republican Party would like nothing better than to see the discontent in the Democratic base help them install truly the most extreme lot of candidates we have seen in many years. We’ve exposed the tea party as nothing more than a reconfiguration of all the religious zealots, moral crusaders, racists and bigots who’ve been around for years. Do not attempt to punish the president or the Democrats by punishing yourself. This country has been in a very precarious state for a long time, in which the political winds can usher in something radical and extreme very quickly. Bad economic times are always an opportunity for those who seek to do that. We have and will demand full accountability by the Democrats and president — who is not on the ballot until 2012 — but don’t do it by giving power to your enemies.
