Their rift will now play out at the ballot box. "It's like choosing between mother and father when the family breaks up," says record-label boss Doroshchuk. As often happens in divorce cases, a third party may benefit. A pr activist says, baldly: "We're preparing to grab the rewards of our political comeback." The party's official...

There’s a motion to get gay marriage on the ballot as a referendum question in 2008, and as members of the top young minds in America, we should make our voice heard. Go to campus events on state politics, like those that the Harvard College Democrats are sponsoring in honor of Mass. Politics Week...
