  1. Fear of gay-marriage backlash far-fetched

    Even U.S. Supreme Court justices care what people think about them, experts say. In their current same-sex marriage cases they fear a big public backlash if they overreach. But history shows such fears to be greatly exaggerated when a controversial decision's time has come.

  2. Obama's pot reform goes up in smoke

    I would shrug and say "So what?" to the latest details from President Barack Obama's pot-smoking past, except for one thing: He stirred so much hope as a candidate for sensible marijuana policy reforms but, as president, has delivered so little change.

  4. Never ever, ever, ever — oops

    A few words to ponder as we sail toward the "fiscal cliff." Those words would be: "That was then, this is now."

  5. Angry at the NRA? That Won't Reduce Gun Violence

    Support for stricter U.S. gun laws hasn't jumped as fast or as far in recent weeks as many liberals had hoped and expected. If you're wondering why, maybe the reason is the shakiness of the public's trust in government itself.

  8. Boehner's gamble

    Jules Witcover
    WASHINGTON -- In the oft-repeated threat of taking the country over a "fiscal cliff" by failing to reach a compromise on deep debt reduction, both parties in Congress have had to be concerned about public opinion as well as the dollar signs involved. If...

  12. Why Obama/Romney won

    WASHINGTON -- We don't yet know who will win next week's election, but we may know why. To answer, we don't need to explain most voting. Remember: the race has been tight for months.

All we need to explain is why the undecided swung victory one way or the other.
