MGM Mirage selling casino (Hopeful)
...and this doesn't sound good for MGM:

MGM Mirage said Friday it will sell its 50 percent interest in Atlantic City's top casino and stop doing business in New Jersey rather than cut ties with the family of an Asian casino mogul accused of organized crime ties.

Quick Rundown of Prop. 8 Case's Possible Paths (denniscmcgrath)
Written by one of the ACLU's LBGT legal team:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/...

One possible outcome, short of marriage equality in all 50 states, is that the federal courts could affirm that where CUs/DPs are available, these should be marriage because otherwise they are discriminatory.

GSE believes they can get their appeal of the CU law decided the NJ Supremes before the federal case gets through the Ninth Circuit and on to the US Sups, and considering how slow the Ninth is reputed to be, GSE may achieve that. But the impact of the federal case, even if it isn't a grand slam for marriage equality nationwide, still could be good for NJ.

Ouch: Q-Poll compares Paterson to Torricelli and W. (Hopeful)
From Quinnipaic's latest New York poll:


Voters disapprove 61 - 21 percent of the job Gov. Paterson is doing. This is the lowest approval rating ever recorded for an elected official in 18 years of Quinnipiac University polling except for former President George W. Bush and former Sen. Robert Torricelli of New Jersey, who had approval ratings of 18 and 19 percent just before they left office...

"Voters surveyed Monday and Tuesday were in favor of keeping Paterson by a net 30 points. On Wednesday and Thursday, voter support was a net four points. That's a 26-point drop in two days."

"President George W. Bush and Sen. Robert Torricelli may have lower grades than Paterson, but both of them were on their way out the door," Carroll added.

GOP Ocean County favorite son out of the race in NJ-3 (Rosi Efthim)
Toms River councilman Maurice "Mo" Hill won't be a candidate for the NJ-3 GOP nomination says Ocean County GOP Chair George Gilmore. So, former Philadelphia Eagle Jon Runyan of Mount Laurel is the frontrunner, and the power struggle between the Burlington & OC GOP organizations that cracked an opening for John Adler to win in 2008 won't be a factor this year.
