* LA Times’ Michael Memoli has good update on campaign to endorse marriage equality in the Democratic platform.
* Nate Silver shows that Ron Paul got a lot more bang for buck in this campaign than in 2008.
* At TAP, Stephen Lerner argues that progressives need to fight for rights of 11 million Americans with underwater mortgages.
* Salon‘s Andrew Leonard defends JOBS Act against lefty criticism; says it’s “not all bad.”
And in non-political news:
