This week’s biggest political kerfuffle was all about gay rights. While other issues did pitch a tent here and there across the political landscape, gay rights inadvertently built a massive structure that dominated the week. So, in the vein of our recent topic-specific Winners and Losers columns, Camp Campaign proudly presents the Gay Pride Winners and Losers of the week.
WINNERS:
Joe Biden –
Joe Biden really kicked this whole thing into high gear by weighing in, and going all in, on the issue of gay marriage and civil unions. Whether it was intentional or one of his patented gaffes, Biden
Gagnants et Perdants

President Obama officially launched his re-election campaign this week. Across the pond, as the snooty people like to refer to Europe, France has already wrapped up their presidential elections. Who were the Winners and the Losers in that contest?
WINNERS:
Francois Hollande
It's kind of obvious, but a review of the Winners wouldn't be complete without mentioning newly- elected French President Francois Hollande. I mean, he WON the election. Enough said.
Socialism
We don't usually give out awards to 'isms, but Socialism certainly deserves a shoutout now that France is officially in the control of a Socialist. Not that it is anything all

A Sheriff, a Warlord, and a Pit Bull Walk into a Bar
by Ronald A. Rowe May 2nd, 2012 | Political Opinions, Winners & Losers
It was a slow week on the political landscape. Even the things that did happen were really more like announcements of the intention to do something at some point. Sluggish action notwithstanding, the panel of experts from Camp Campaign has scoured the newswires to bring you the big Winners and Losers of the Week.
WINNERS:
The Federal Government
Washington DC is intricately tied to the federal government. What happens in Vegas may stay in Vegas, but what happens in Washington transfers to the U.S. government. So the Feds get a freebie of a win this week courtesy of the Washington Redskins,

One Nation Under Dog

This week we take time out to answer the age-old question that has confounded politicians for generations -- Which is worse: driving with your dog in a custom-shielded car carrier on the roof of your car 30 years ago or eating dog meat in Africa 40 years ago?
Yes, instead of focusing on the economy or the deficit or the common defense or social issues or unemployment, both the Obama and Romney campaigns spent the last week in a silly Twitter / Media war trying to argue exactly that question. *
Young Barry Obama ate dog meat while living in Kenya.

Rockets Can’t Buy Happiness

Did you hear the news? North Korea is going ahead with plans to launch a rocket, even though it's going to freak a lot of people out. Surprised? Didn't think so.
So the BBC has reported that North Korean officials are claiming the rocket launch is being conducted in order to place a satellite into orbit, however opponents of the launch are fearful of a disguised long-range missile test. This all comes at the cost of U.S. food aid that was promised under the conditions that North Korea would not conduct such a launch. I suppose they're correct, though
