2012

It being a Presidential election year, the Congressional races have gotten a lot less attention. Any predictions on how the House and Senate look come January? Rasmussen has Republicans leading in a general poll 46 to 43...

Anyone been watching the DNC? A lot of people are talking about the Michelle Obama and Bill Clinton speeches. I haven't had a chance to watch them yet, but plan to on Youtube sometime soon. Thoughts on the DNC thus far?

Any bold predictions for today's primaries? Is today Newt's last day? Will Santorum or Romney come out the winner? It will be an interesting evening.

With the year coming to an end, would anyone care to make some predictions for 2012, especially politically? Doesn't have to be political though. A few from me: I think the general election will be very close and almost unpredictable really. I expect for the Eurozone problems to continue...

NJ Governor Chris Christie has been in the news a lot these past few days as he decides on whether or not to run in 2012. There seems to be a good amount of support and the addition to the field would certainly be interesting. Any predictions on whether he will run/what the outcome will be?

The 2012 Election Will Come Down to Seven States National polls are nice, but Electoral College math is what matters. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111903918104576504520213848188.html?mod=googlenews_wsj...

One of the many topics which have effectively divided our major political parties amongst themselves is on foreign policy and the direction that candidates wish to take on our current and foreseeable armed conflicts in the world. President Obama has received heavy bombardment from the Right on...

Newt Gingrich is apparently looking to form an exploratory committee to gage interest on whether or not he should run for President in 2012. I guess we are at that time when the Presidental election news will once more start coming up as this hasn't been the only similar discussion this week...
