Romney's demise may not be a blessing for Dems:

Gingrich is a very good debater; he's not McCain, or especially Palin. He is very swift, with lots of facts, and is not dependent on reading from prompters. If Gingrich wins, the Presidential debates will most probably be won by Gingrich. One fact to consider is that most voters will not go to Fact Check, etc. They'll easily be swayed by the debates and ads, as they usually are. The Dems have counted on Romney to be their opponent. Now they have to prepare for 2 opponents. I've watched Gingrich in the debates; he's very skilled, quick retorts, easily brushing off questions he doesn't like and turns them into what he wants his message to be.

I am not a Gingrich supporter; I'm a Romney supporter ( based on the actual choices), but I've been impressed. I've seen him in CSPAN panels, and was very surprised by his reasoning in health care panels (electronic records, free generic drugs, etc). His personal life turned me off, but on most issues, he's very knowledgeable, and reasonable.

The MSM dissing on this site, the distrust of them is also very strong with Reps. Will be very interesting to watch as it develops.

The ITB Home Construction ETF is a good alternative for this group.

Popeye,  yesterday was the first hearing. The banks atty said they were unaware of the break-ins. we produced a lot of evidence to the contrary. they said it was unfortunate and "wrong" however it was no defense to foreclosure. The court disagreed and denied their motion for strict foreclosure.
Round two in about fifteen days.......
I don't think the court is very happy with this bank.
they will probably send the big guns next time.

George, We're all in your corner.

Barr, I'm already a member of United for the People.

Paul - OK you're the technician. RYL, LEN and FAST.

On Romney's phenomenally swift one week meltdown - Who can put their finger on any one reason? -  The criticisms of his work at Bain, his flat persona, greater public awareness of his dramatic flip-flops, his  dishonesty, off shore bank accounts, 13.9% tax rates, his inability to connect with ordinary people, his fear mongering. Whatever.

The latest poll I read showed he was neck and neck with the lobbyist from hell New Gingrich in unfavorability. WaPo and ABC favoable/unfavorable  29/51 for Gingrich. 31/49 for Romney.

thanks Jim,
with Newt in SC.....  I think they might have forgiving and forgetting mixed up. Forgiving takes compassion.....  forgetting can be irresponsible.
Leopards don't change their spots. They will always be leopards.

Jim J,  I keep telling you guys, Romney's hair is what is holding him back!

PHM, KBH, MAS were very close in the running. (Of these I own 2)

George - How's you'refight with the bank that illegally broke into your house going?  We're all rooting for you.

If Adelson is going to keep gifting Gingrich $5 million, we could see Newt win. 

Follow the money - Out democracy is being bought by corporations and people who have off shore hidden accounts, 13.9% tax rates (lower than those of working Americnas) are lobbyists for whoever pays the most.

Totally disgusting!

Popeye

Popeye, you seem to forget, 60% OF Americans pay less. I wonder if that's just working Muricans or seniors who are retired, children who don't (hafta work), disabled folks and folkswho are unfortunate enough to be on assistance. For some odd reason they never seem to state who are these 60% freeloaders who pay less!

he only released what he still had time to tweek. I doubt he made use of all the available deductions that he did durring the meltdown years. I would like to know how much of his investment income is dependant on overseas labor.

The most outstanding line of all thosenegative adds is by Mike Huckabee and applies to both Romney and Gingrich.

If a man's dishonest in trying to obtain a job, he'll be dishonest on the job.

Right now I say let them destroy each other. You'll see a the adult in the room give his State of the Union tonight.

I realize that there are people that see Obama as an evil.
To them I would say, at least he's a " known evil".....
You've seen his worst and his best has not been seen because it was obstructed.
On the other side, I think we've already seen their best as it has never been obstructed.
I'm afraid to imagine the worst. This would be an           "un-known evil"

Ron Brown (HGSI) in his subscription morning report suggests today:

The NASDAQ formed a Doji or a narrow body spinning top yesterday as traders looked for direction. Today, stock futures are lower due to a rejected Greek debt deal, or at least that is what the headlines are stating.

I think it is time to be cautious here with the Greek debt issues re-emerging. This is reflected in the Dollar index which is up today while stock futures are down. Ideally, stocks will pull back on light volume, test support, then proceed higher.

Reports dry natural gas drillers are cutting back drilling due to the
sharp decline in natural gas prices.  Gas service companies such as FTK have been hit!  Wet gas drillers may continue to do well, but the whole
driller service sector is a gamble.

FTK is a frac fluid supplier which is used in dry gas wells and it was off 5.8% yesterday.
