Last time out 11 states had gay marriage on the ballot. The popular vote went to the loser......
Polls today are poorly done.
The Dem's primary was won by a person who did not win the democratic states. His oppnent won those states.
In the national election, a dem winning in republican states in the primary is NOT going to get those states in the national. Who is going to win the democratic states in the national?
Independents rule in this election as a blocking coalition. Race is an issue and so is age. Some independents did not have a chance to vote in the primaries, especially in less sophisticated states.
How many points in the polls do each candidate have to ignore because they do NOT come from tipping point states?
As the Summer comes to a close the markets (economy) will be down to lows that have not been seen for years.
6,000 centrifuges will be pumping away 24/7 in Iran. Hurricanes can now use gulf waters to advance two levels in their trip across the gulf... a first except for Katrina. (See Doli last week)
Who is going to win in 2012? The ecomomy is a set of dominos that have not started to fall and already Congress is not able to create solutions of merit simply because they do not know what is going on and can't find out. The federal government has already stepped way over the line and generations will have to deal with the consequences.
Shelf ice in JAN was breaking off at a square mile a pop. In FEB it was breaking off at 5 squ mi a pop. In MAR a piece 6180 sq mi came loose unexpectedly. (All antarctica)
Peak oil happened. Look up in the pic; thats where the hole in the ozone layer is that was caused by airosals
Our auto industry is screwed. Mark to market isn't going to happen until a couple of quarters, then watch out.
See the Olympics to get the picture of air quality worldwide.
Spend a night in Moscow (the place with most billionaires and the most expensive town around)
Bring in T Bonne Pickens.. its only 4,000 units and we can do 22,000. And no grid and no tax relief for grid makers. LNG is NOT going to hit Boston ever. Mainers spend 25% of income on energy now. (there is a deep water port in Maine and it is not under construction). In '78 the swedes were shipping white pine chips from Wisconsin to Sweden to a little company called Ikea.
fat kids..... no engineering education anymore.. US doesn't do Health it does ILLNESS...... which is many times more expensive.
Infrastructure....grids.... pipelines....
Homeland security..... emergency relief.... Santa Claus is collecting money this summer.. Red Cross can't get blood anymore.
What good is calling 202-456-1414????? Supenas stopped working too.
An independent is going to be elected President in 2012. This country needs leadership and the political parties can no longer nurture leadership.
The media stinks... What is going on in the world is unknown to the US viewers. Sunset is coming for the US. Some countries are very close to energy self sufficiency. 2020 was a target for some of them 40 years ago by planning.
The global internet is where leadership is going to come from.... The US is going to learn to follow the voices of people from the global internet.
Money as we knew it is over. Making money is the dynamic each person needs to step out of the system and be an independent world contributor. We get volatility from here on in (not out). Fixing the mess is going to be a global fix. And global leaders are going to do it.
The 2008 election is just one more Talk Show.
An independent is going to win the 2012 election and then we will get down to business by using blocking coalitions to rewrite the roadmap. The US will be a shambles part way through the next administration.
