New Hampshire Polls - RCP

RCP: Reports on its average of the New Hampshire polls, leading is Governor Romney on 40.0%, while Congressman Paul is on 18.7%, while way back is Newt Gingrich on 11.3%. Thus folks NH is a lock for Romney, Santorum in the average only has 4.3%, of course there might be an upswing for Santorum in NH, but due to the vote being on Tuesday, and the need for a good field operation to get the vote out it can be argued that Santorum should use his new money in South Carolina, if Romney can take SC then this race is over folks. If the Conservatives want to stop Romney they have to spend their Super Pac money in SC in support of one candidate, they have to pick, very short time folks. It has been argued that SC is the firewall for Conservatives to stop Romney, well folks the time has arrived, time for the Conservatives to pick a Candidate, Santorum, Perry, Gingrich, otherwise time to get on the Romney train.

Greece and the Eurozone Crisis

Guardian Live - Euro: Reports on the reaction from the public sector to the calls from the Greek Government for more austerity, the article states the following, “ ..union and business leaders are reacting badly….that Greek people must accept further wage cuts and the loss of hard-won labour rights,…”. The Greek Government has to decide what is more important, the Greek people or the EU, they are not the same thing, any more austerity and you could have civil disorder on the streets, even a Coup by the Greek military. The Greeks milked the system when it things were good, NOW things are very bad, they have to think about GREECE first, the EU afterwards if at all, it would be better for Greece to be out of the Euro but still in the EU. The bailouts could be then be pushed to protect the civic order of Greece, otherwise all this money is going to the bankers, and those that are suffering are the Greek people. This cant go on forever folks, something has to give, and soon.

Italian Bonds and the Eurozone Crisis

Telegraph Live - Euro: Reports that Italian Bonds have passed the 7% mark, the article states the following, “ ..Anything above 7pc is widely considered to make borrowing costs unnaffordable. ”. Thus folks, we have Greece with its hand out for 130 billion Euros, now Italy with its new Government has seen bonds pass the 7% mark and bank Shares suspended. The festive upswing didn’t last folks, lets see when the 1st Emergency EU meeting is called, there needs a great grand plan folks, so far little from the EU leadership.

The Spotlight on New Hampshire

BBC News: Reports that former US Senator Rick Santorum has stated he has seen in increase in donations to his Campaign. On Fox News Senator Santorum stated that since his victory in Iowa, the Santorum Campaign has raised over a million dollars, that’s quite impressive folks, but can the Senator develop a ground operation in New Hampshire and South Carolina in time for their votes. The Romney Campaign has been at this for years, also the Conservative vote is split between Santorum, Gingrich and Perry, thus a victory is made easier for Governor Romney. Lets be honest here folks, very honest, Congressman Paul is not going to win the Republican nomination with his Foreign Policy to the left of President Obama, thus the path to the nomination for Romney is not without risks, but if you bet, you would bet on Romney for the nomination and Santorum for the VP spot.
