The Republican Race - Polling Calendar

Washington Examiner: Reports that Republicans in the State of Florida have moved their Primary to January 31st of 2012. In other words Iowa, New Hampshire will have to have their vote quite early, thus just after Christmas the good voters of these states will have to get out and vote. As Iowa goes first, it will be interesting to see if they go just before Christmas or early in 2012, if early 2012 then NH will come quite soon after, the winner of Iowa wont have much time to use the win in Iowa to impress the voters of NH. The Republican nomination race could be over by February should the winner of Iowa, NH, take Florida at the end. Lets hope there are no Christmas votes, that would be nightmare to cover, also this move will force Governor Christie to make his mind up, this could be his year.

The New Reagan ? - Governor Christie of NJ.

The New York Times: Reports that former First Lady Nancy Reagan is pushing Governor Christie of New Jersey to run for the 2012 Republican nomination. If Governor Christie were to enter the race one could postulate that he would win the nomination, the Governor has charisma, straight talking, a very clever ex lawyer. Also lets recall he won in Democratic State, thus has broader appeal than just the Republican base. The lack of sparkle by Governor Perry of Texas at the Republican Debates and the tanking of the Obama poll ratings have allowed for a late entry it the Republican field. Lets recall Ronald Reagan ran for the Presidency twice before winning in 1980. In 1968 barely in to his first term as Governor of California he ran as a dark horse candidate in the Republican race that was won by Richard Nixon, in 1976 Reagan ran against President Ford, in the end Ford barely won the nomination. In 1980 Carter was a gift to Reagan, the Gipper won by 44 States. The point of the brief history folks is even if Governor Christie does not win he will see how a national campaign is run, great lessons if he runs in 2016.

Cameron on EU - CP Conference

Telegraph Live - CP Conference: Reports that Coalition PM and Conservative Leader David Cameron has stated that the UK needs to be in the EU. The right of the Conservative Party wont like that, but the PM is showing leadership, at present the EU has to deal with the Eurozone crisis, it needs a united plan to bailout European banks, have a firewall for Italy and Spain and manage a Greek default. Also the Germans have to be pushed to give around two trillion to fund the above, also support Euro bands with their credit rating. If the above does not happen it wont matter if the UK is in or out of the EU, the Western economy will be in gutter, Great Depression Mark 11. Lets not upset the Germans at the moment folks.

PM Cameron on Economic Growth - Conservative Party Conference

BBC News: Reports on remarks by PM Cameron that the Coalition Government will build two hundred thousand affordable homes, this could create four hundred thousand jobs. Sounds like a good idea folks, the common cry from those wanting to buy is that the costs are eye watering if your wages are low at the start of your career. As more house building will create jobs in construction it should help with the broader economy, supplies to builders could lead to jobs being created at building outlets, also spending in the local community should be helped by those building and the new owners of the homes. Lets hope it has a chance folks, the Coalition needs economic growth to get the deficit down.

The Wedding of River Sung - Doctor Who

The Doctor Who News Page: Reports that the good Doctor had 6.1 million viewers, and was the top drama of the day, the two top spots had reality shows. What an end of season show folks, dramatic, funny, moving, a more mystery, lets start with the dramatic, how would the good Doctor get out of his own death, he was tricky of course, who would have thought the answer was in plain site. A computer control model of the Doctor meet his death, with the Doctor inside, devious, but it works, the funny part had to be the talking head, that head got better internet access than me! Bring him back, the head I mean! the most moving was the Doctor learning of the death of the Brig, very tender, the loss of the Brig was felt by all fans. The most moving and shocking was how Amy Pond dealt with the kidnapper of her baby, she killed her, did leaving her to her fate, make Amy so human or bad, poor Rory didn’t have clue but thats usual, the Doctor has a Mother in Law and its Amy! One can say Christmas Dinner going to be interesting, wonder if Amy going to ask about grandchildren. But if you think about the most shocking fact is that Doctor knows how its ends for his wife, and he has not told Amy or Rory. As to the last question, who is the Doctor ? Lets hope we years to find out, also bring back Mrs Who, that her technical title for the full season, Doctor and Wife, also bring back Rose Tyler, how would she react to Mrs Who, in less she has married her own Who, that would make two Mrs Who’s, Captain Jack would have ideas. Thus the Christmas Special to come folks.
