Romney and Women Voters


Guardian Live - US Election: Reports in its 1pm posting on a new ABC News/ Washington Poll Poll, it shows that the big lead that President Obama had with women has narrowed, the articles notes the following, " Obama leads among female registered voters 51% to 44%, a substantial shrinkage from April when he led by 57% to 38%...". Also more worrying for the Obama Camp as the articles notes is the fact that married women support Romney by 17%.

Lets Get Real:

If the Chicago Re-Elect Committee can not extend the Obama lead with Women he is toast in November folks, male voters on the whole support Romney by big margins from polls this blog has seen, Obama only wins if he has a double digit lead over Romney on Election Day. I hope the Chicago Election Committee does not take this advice but drop the class warfare argument, female voters are not interested in what Romney did in 1994 when he was in business, they want to know will the next President get the economy moving, will the next President deal with the debt issue. As women that normally have to deal with the home finances they know you cant have a 16 trillion and not deal with it, just going on about class warfare might make the uber NYT happy but it make sure that Obama is a 1 term President. Thus male and female voters know when they are being conned, Obama has not mentioned his own record so far, four years and what, a 8% level of unemployment, forcing ObamaCare down the throat of US voters. The billion spent by the Oval on the promise that unemployment would not go over 8%, the President and the Congress cant work together, its May folks, if President Obama wants to get re-elected he needs to bring in new staff, otherwise big defeat in November folks.

World War One Memoirs - Vera Brittain



Telegraph: Reports that a new film is being produced based on the memoirs of Vera Brittain. The film is being made by BBC Films.

Lets Get Real:

It's about time folks, Testament of Youth about the life of Vera Brittain before, during and after World War One is one of the most moving things this blog has even seen on big or small screen. A TV version was filmed in 1979, the articles states the following on the production, " ..The series has retained its place as one of the outstanding achievements in television drama of the golden age of British public service broadcasting. ". While readers of this blog might be surprised as the theme of the TV series and book is anti War, yes this blog still wants to bomb Iran, and Yes still supports the Iraq War, that does not mean one can not want to understand what Vera Britten went through during those deadly years, losing loved ones, the pain of memory. While this book supports diplomacy it does not support appeasement, and Iran is being appeased, so is North Korea, on the other hand before one supports a military action one should think about the results, Testament of Youth, the 79 series is a good place to start folks.

Threat from North Korea - Korean Front


BBC News: Reports on a threat from North Korea to increase its nuclear programme if the US and its Allies do not back off with their tough sanctions.

Lets Get Real:

This is a clear blackmail attempt by the Stalinist North Korean Regime, they have one ACE, they are nuclear armed power, every time the set off a nuclear test it brings Japan closer to going nuclear. There rocket attempts have been failures so far, one day one of their rockets might work. This would push Japan in to becoming a nuclear armed power, that would really scare North Korea and China, one of these days China will have to make a choice, does it support its close ally or does it switch off the lights. That decision could come faster than China expects, a new leader in North Korea will want to prove he is up to it on a military level, the rocket failed, so either a new nuclear test or some military threat to South Korea. The clock is ticking folks.
