"Life's too short to dance with ugly men."

That's what a friend of mine's bumper sticker used to say. It's too short to vote for them, too.

Only in Indiana could a matter of conscience turn your electoral attention toward a reality TV refugee.

Flying in the face of the national trend in favor of same-sex marriage, Indiana Democratic gubernatorial candidate John Gregg announced his support of a proposed constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriages and civil unions on the same day President Obama announced his support for same-sex marriage. Gregg's Republican opponent, far-right Congressman Mike Pence, also supports the discriminatory amendment. Libertarian candidate Rupert Boneham, the former Survivor reality show star, has already announced his support of full marriage equality for all Hoosiers.
