"...If You Think About It, Voting And Rounding Up The Usual Suspects Are Pretty Much The Same Thing..."

Chances are when you think politics, the first name that comes to mind is very likely not Claude Rains.

The suave and classy character actor's voice splashed right down into my political pool this morning.

How and why coming up.

A New York Times/CBS News poll released Monday night shows the possible political perils of President Obama's recent announcement that he supports same-sex marriage.

Most of those polled say the president's position will not impact how they vote. But among those who say it will influence their choice, 26 percent said they are less likely to vote for Obama as a result, while 16 percent say they are more likely to.

And in what is expected to be a tight race, "even a small shift in swing states could be costly," says the Times.

Also troubling for the president is that a majority of voters suspect that his decision was politically motivated.

Sixty-seven percent said they thought Obama's announcement was made "mostly for political reasons," while 24 percent said it was "mostly because he thinks it is right."


"...a majority of voters suspect that his decision was politically motivated...."

Here's politics in plain English...

Of COURSE, it was politically motivated.

That's what politicians do.

What's that? You're shocked, shocked?

Welcome to the club.

Rick's Cafe' Americain, to be precise.
