The End of Marriage? - Ozzie and Harriet step aside.  The proportion of homes in America with husband-wife couples has now fallen below 50 percent, the lowest since the Census Bureau began tabulating this family data in 1940.  (Lisa Stark) http://abcn.ws/I2b19I

Rubio Spurns Foreign Policy Disengagement - "For while there are few global problems we can solve by ourselves, there are virtually no global problems that can be solved without us. In confronting the challenges of our time, there are more nations than ever capable of contributing, but there is still only one nation that is capable of leading," Rubio said today of the United States.
"Who will lead if we do not?" Rubio asked. "The answer, at least today, is that no other nation or organization is willing or able to do so." http://abcn.ws/IdsxdT

What is Self Deportation? - Here's how Kris Kobach Described it to Univision - "The concept of self-deportation in immigration is that if people are breaking the law, we as a nation or an individual state should take steps to ratchet up the level of law enforcement incrementally so that people start thinking, 'Well, you know what? Maybe I should follow the law. It's harder to get the job illegally. It's harder to continue breaking the law, maybe using a false name or a false Social Security number, and I will therefore try to comply with the law in the future.' It's really that simple," Kobach said. Matt Jaffe on Romney and Kobach - http://abcn.ws/I9TrEv
What's Wrong with Obama and Romney Proposal to Extend Student Loans Rates? - The Occupy perspective, according to Greg Krieg - "Whatever Washington ends up doing (or failing to do) as the interest rate deadline nears, Occupy Spokesman Ed Needham says it won't be enough, and that the president is, in effect, 'outlining a prescription for fixing the student debt crisis that is akin to putting a Band-aid on a tumor and telling the patient to go home.' http://abcn.ws/IccRt5

Cory Booker vs. the Devils - Sport and politics and daydreaming about Guv Race 2013 in New Jersey - Chris Good writes: "The spats have showcased each politician's style. In his Nets comments, Christie lived up to the reputation he's earned for bluntly dismissing his political antagonists off the cuff. Booker, who undertook a hunger strike in 1999, and lived in a tent in front of a housing project to protest drug distribution, lived up to his own reputation for hands-on advocacy." http://abcn.ws/JmtRLh

College Tour - From Mary Bruce -  While the president did not call out the presumptive GOP nominee by name, he drew a sharp contrast between his background and that of Mitt Romney, who comes from a wealthier family. "This is something Michelle and I know about firsthand," Obama said. "I didn't just read about this… I didn't just get some talking points about this. I didn't just get a policy briefing on this." "Check this out, all right?  I'm the president of the United States.  We only finished paying off our student loans about eight years ago," he said to laughter from the crowd of roughly 8,000. "That wasn't that long ago." While young voters still overwhelmingly support the president - Obama enjoys a substantial 60 to 34 percent lead over Romney - their interest has waned since 2008. http://abcn.ws/JY8Q6A

Young Voters Matter - Amy Walter: "Check out the huge improvement he made over John Kerry, who lost to George W. Bush in 2004, among this group of voters in key swing states.
While the percentage of the youth vote remained relatively stable, Obama's percentage of the young vote doubled and even tripled in some key states." http://abcn.ws/HZO0Es

Jon Karl's Light Bulb Beat - It costs about 100 times more than an old fashioned one, but a new $50 LED light bulb is not as crazy as it sounds - the new bulb can last up to 30 years, is just as bright as the old-fashioned kind, and use a fraction of the electricity. But even if you do not buy one, you have already helped pay for it. The Department of Energy awarded the bulb's maker, Philips, a $10 million prize for developing the "affordable" light bulb of the future. http://yhoo.it/I3H8Vg
