The NYT endorses same-sex marriage in all four states with ballot measures: "The freedom to marry is a fundamental right that should not have to be won or defended at the ballot box. In fact, ballot initiatives are a bad way to write or rewrite laws of any kind. Unfortunately, that is the reality of American politics, which is why same-sex marriage measures on the Nov. 6 ballot in Maine, Washington, Maryland and Minnesota could turn out to be pivotal in the struggle for marriage equality."

Iowa Rep. Steve King's (R-IA) position on disaster relief:
“'Can you imagine in the middle of a disaster to ask for appropriations
for mitigating future disasters?' King says. 'That’s why I said no on
that second round of appropriations for Katrina…because they spent it on
Gucci bags and massage parlors and everything you can think of — in
addition to what was necessary.' King made his comments Tuesday night
during a debate in Mason City and Christie Vilsack, King’s Democratic
opponent, immediately responded to that Gucci remark.
'Comments like
that, Congressman King, are heartless,' Vilsack said. 'You were one of
11 congresspeople who voted against flood relief in Hurricane Katrina
and you said it was the proudest vote that you ever took.'"
