Romney vs. Santorum - The Republican Race

The Hill: Reports that the Romney Campaign is aiming its political arrows at ex US Senator Rick Santorum, the article notes the following, “ Santorum is poised to do well in two out of the three GOP nominating contests on Tuesday. ”. There are three elections today folks, Minnesota, Colorado and Missouri, the first two are caucuses States with delegates, although the article notes the result is not biding on the delegates, while the Missouri Primary is a straw poll, a beauty contest in may respects, also the Speaker is not on the Ballot. As posted yesterday the Speaker Gingrich has predicted that Rick Santorum will have a good night, if the ex Senator can cause an upset this will keep the race open, this might help Speaker Gingrich, if Romney does not win all three he can argue that once the process gets to Southern States he will start to win the big states, such as Texas. Lets recall folks the Obama/Clinton fight went down to the wire, also it can be argued that Senator Santorum might be looking to be Romney’s VP pick, that would make the Conservative base happy, also leave Speaker Gingrich in the cold. Long night folks, make sure you have plenty of coffee!.

Decision Time and Greece

Guardian Live - Euro: Reports that Greek political leaders will meet at 9pm Greek time, that’s 7pm UK to discuss the final austerity plan for Greece. As the post notes the meeting could take hours, thus another delay in a final decision, and even then leaders might have discuss any deal with their Party Establishment, thus it could take days folks.

The Fall of Greece ? - Eurocrisis

Telegraph Live - Euro: Reports in its 1.40pm post that the Greek Government has drafted its final response to the demands of the Troika, the response will be given to the Greek Party Leaders later today. Lets see if the left or right wing Parties give their approval to this document, it can be postulated that any Political Party that agrees that the Greeks should suffer for the sake of the Euro will do badly in the forthcoming Greek Election. Of course the leaders could stall and want further talks, thus we will be here tomorrow discussing the same thing, Greece IN or OUT of the Euro.

Greece Exiting the Euro?

BBC News: Reports on split views coming out of the EU, on one hand that Greece should stay in the Euro, on the other that Greece leaving would not affect other Euro Countries. Lets get real here folks, the EU is adding further austerity as to get Greece to walk out of the room, then they have clean hands, the article notes that the EU wants further spending cuts and labour market reform, already Greece has a General Strike, the people are refusing to pay new taxes and people are taking their Euros abroad. This can only end badly for Greece, its just how much its hurts the EU and the Euro.
