This and That

~ The debates mercifully are done --- for a while. Time to let the voting do the talking for now.

Voting in Florida is currently ongoing and a great deal of balloting has already occurred. Based on the two Florida debates Newt Gingrich has lost his strong lead versus Mitt Romney. The GOP establishment has fallen into line behind Romney.

Would a loss here bury Gingrich. I think not. A different approach will be necessary, to wit, no more Mr. Nice Guy. The new more feisty Romney has set the tone for now.

With the full court press executed by the GOP Romney needs to win convincingly or his anticipated victory will leave many questions unanswered. A couple of wild cards are how well Ron Paul and Rick Santorum will do. The key players are still Romney and Gingrich.

~  The latest Gross Domestic Report is just out and it ain't good. Real GDP increased 1.7 percent in 2011 , compared to an increase of 3.0 percent in 2010 last year. This has just got to be George Bush's fault.

~ He earns about trenty million a year. Yup, that's what the former Massachusetts Governor said in the debate. Anyone believe Mitt Romney is clueless about how his money is invested? Could I interest you in waters edge land along the Muddy River? Maybe his blind trust isn't so blind.

~ I thought modern luxury liners were un sinkable. Shucks, that's what they said about the Titanic. Galosh.

~ Another day, another great stimulus investment bites the dust. This one an electric car where we lost more than a hundred million smackeroos.

~ Do you recall the old question of whether you are better off than four years ago? Well......are you?

~ Guess who is getting married? None other than Barney Frank. His longtime partner  Jim Ready and Barney will tie the knot after a longtime relationship.

C ya tomorrow.
