The New York Times: "Published against the backdrop of Mr. Obama’s endorsement of same-sex marriage and Tuesday’s North Carolina vote to ban it, the Cranbrook story was also a measure of how much social attitudes have shifted since Mr. Romney’s youth. Even at his otherwise-strict school, pranks were tolerated with boys-will-be-boys indulgence, and the term ‘bullying’ was decades away from being a subject for assemblies and school psychologists."
“Social conservatives who doubted Mitt Romney now have a reason to rally around him after President Barack Obama’s embrace of gay marriage, Politico reports. “Despite the fact that very conservative and religious voters didn’t support Romney in the primary, their fierce opposition to the issue will give the presumptive GOP nominee a way to harness conservative enthusiasm in November.”
