Wyoming Senate candidate Liz Cheney refuses to change her position on gay marriage despite her sister's sexual orientation. "I love Mary very much, I love her family very much," Cheney said on Fox News Sunday. "This is just an issue on which we disagree." Cheney, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, said she's opposed to a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. Her views on marriage are complex, you see. Despite her belief that gays shouldn't be discriminated, Cheney also thinks gays don't deserve the right to marriage. "I believe in the traditional definition of marriage," she said.

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand criticized the President for not being clearer about the inability to keep your health care plan after the Affordable Care Act took effect. But the New York Democrat still defended the law from Republican attackers. "He should have just been more specific," Gillibrand said on ABC's This Week. "The point is, if you are being offered a terrible health care plan that the minute you get sick you have to go into bankruptcy, those plans should never be offered, he should have just been specific." Gillibrand was asked to explain why 39 Democrats voted for a Republican-backed Obamacare "fix" bill that will die in the Senate. "They’re just responding to the worries of their constituents," she said.

On NBC's Meet the Press, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said the Affordable Care Act can't halt plans in place before the law was signed in 2010. "If you had your plan before the enactment of the law in 2010, there is nothing in the law that can remove it," Pelosi said. "You could [keep your plan], if you had your plan before the enactment of the law in 2010. Grandfathering is for those before 2010." Pelosi thanked the President for falling on his sword over the tumultuous rollout, but stressed there's nothing wrong with the law itself. "He is gracious and he is taking responsibility, but that doesn’t mean that there was anything in the law that said if you like what you had before 2010 you couldn’t keep it," she said. "He took responsibility for the big picture… because that’s what people see.”
