THE DNC QUIETLY BACKPEDALS ON CITIZENS UNITED OPPOSITION: At US News & World Report, Robert Schlesinger writes:

Democrats may not like Citizens United or “super PACs,” but they’re not nearly as vocal about it as they used to be. One little noticed piece of evidence that they’re soft pedaling the issue can be found (or not) on the Democratic National Committee’s website, which has quietly dropped the topics from its list of “Issues” it touts.

Perhaps not coincidentally, the tonal shift comes as Democrats are trying to kick their super PAC efforts into gear.

Meanwhile at the Washington Free Beacon, “Gay for Pay: Obama reversal on same sex marriage comes just days after donors threatened to withhold funds.”

(Though the Obama administration is, according to one report, none-too-thrilled with Joe Biden for his gaffe on Sunday, which limited Mr. Obama’s flexibility in terms of when he would transmit his announcement. Presumably yesterday worked in terms of breaking the cycle of bad news from Tuesday’s various drubbings in Wisconsin, North Carolina and West Virginia.)
