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

What a week. Joe Biden gives a gaffe, which threatens to derail the schedule of the Obama campaign’s agenda. Yes, I know … what else is new? I mean, really — how on Earth has this guy kept his office for so long? With all the crazy blunder’s he’s made — even before the ’08 election — what the heck were they thinking?
You know, I get such a kick out of all the pundits — and fellow college students! — who swear with a straight face that Joe Biden is actually “very smart.” See … unlike Sarah Palin and

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

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,

Come Together, Right Now…

Faithful readers of Camp Campaign are probably wondering how I feel. After all…out of the final four, Rick Santorum was my guy. And now, he’s out.
To be honest … I can’t say I feel that bad. I wish he’d done a lot better. Heck — I wish all that lynching of Herman Cain hadn’t happened, and that he’d ridden high, clinched the nomination, beaten the heck out of President Obama on his own turf — racial minorities — and brought some good old 9-9-9 to our nation’s economy. Alas … you can’t always get what you want.
Besides … all
