Telegraph: Reports that the President Obama could wash his hands of Israel and send the issue of Israel and the formation of a Palestinian State to the international community, this would be a conference of the US, EU, UN and Russia. One word folks, CONGRESS, this is not going to happen, the House and the Senate will overturn any Obama move that has a negative effect on Israel, Obama could threaten Israel but the Congress will overturn any such action by the Oval. Also the Republicans would retake the House and the Senate, the Democrats on the Hill are not going to jump off another cliff for Obama, after health care reform they face the loss of the House and a threat to the Senate, they are not going to add to their problems, one can postulate that the Israeli Lobby will be out in force on the Hill, the US political system is based on fundraising for the next Campaign, the system these days is in constant campaign mode, an important state in recent Presidential Elections has been Florida, as one will recall with the 2000 election, in Florida there are a lot of older Americans, a lot of these are of the Jewish faith, thus Obama could see the Israeli lobby out in force in 2010 and 2012, Democrats will not allow Obama to sell out Israel as he sold out the Poland and the Czech Republic.

Cameron Big WIN - UK General Election
Iain Dale's Diary: The Conservative blogger Iain Dale calls the 3rd debate for David Cameron, Mr Dale states the following, " ....a Cameron decisive win tonight, ". The instant polls after the debate confirm this verdict, as stated this blog did a live tweets for the debate and called the debate for Mr Cameron. But it will be interesting to see the polls over the weekend, can the Conservative Party get to that magic 40% mark in the polls, can the Labour Party hold its core vote of around 28%, will the LibDems hold on to their poll rating of around 30%. Its not over folks, but Labour needs a game changer, something, otherwise the New Labour project is over, the Labour Party could be finished as a force in English politics.
Brown OUT ? - Guardian
Guardian: Reports that UK PM Gordon Brown has blown his third debate performance, the left wing Guardian states the following, " last night appeared to have failed in his daunting mission to change the course of the general election during an ill-tempered leaders' debate...". It seems that Guardian has seen the light, or in other words want to start out nice with the next Conservative Government, thus throwing PM Brown to the Wolfe's, it can be postulated that the Guardian can see either a majority Conservative Government on Thursday or a minority Conservative Government, but it does not really matter, it will be Conservative, thus the paper wants to get its calls returned, good PR move by the Guardian.
3rd UK PM Debate - Review
BBC News: Reports on the third UK PM debate. Having done a live tweet of the debate this blogger found that the Conservative Leader David Cameron had won the debate. Mr Cameron came across as honest, the leader of change, also appealing to the needs of voters when it comes to their concern about immigration in to the country and the cost of the EU on UK finances. Mr Clegg had a hard time with the immigration question, he seems to want to open the door to all to come in to the UK. As for PM Brown the economic debate was to be his issue, but Mr Brown started quite well, but he got lost in the weeds with his obsession about tax credits, also Mr Brown looked old, one gets the feeling that he is going through the motions, its over, just waiting for the results on Thursday and Friday. Thus final result was a clear win for Mr Cameron, can he form a majority Government is a different question.
