  [9:06PMET by Skyler on twitter] Huntsman is at  one % because he didn't focus on Iowa #iacaucus
 [ 9:08PMET  by Kathy Writer for mychiller] Younger people go for Paul , and more young are out tonight.  Santorum is getting more Christian Conseratives. more Independents are going to Paul.
[9:12PMET by Skyler]   Tea Party could be effecting the Ronmey numbers. My first prediction said Bachmann gets second but the Tea Party votes are split up at this time so it's harder for them to consolidate.
[9:14PMET  by Skyler] By age 18-29 Paul leads  with 52%  ,  in ages 30-44 he leads at 31% so far
[numbers]  Paul leads with people who make incomes of  less that $30 thousand ,  and $30-50thousand  so far

[9:45PMET By Kathy Walker]   I say Bachmann  could go to South Carolina but money maybe the factor to hurt.

  Huntsman   1%      211
[10:01PMET BY Kathy Walker for mychiller]  Perry  will be able to make it to South  Carolina  , Bachmann will have harder time going on.
[10:01PMET BY Skyler] If  Romney comes in first it will be his  big break

[11:18PMET LIVE VIDEO} NEWT Gingrich 
[11:19PMET By Kathy Walker] Newt is looking to continue  and he is really mad about the ad tatics it's seems
[11:21PMET BY Skyler] Gingrich goes after Paul says he's dangerous to America, and Mitt Romney is getting to his 25 votes ahead
[11:24PMET By Kathy]  It just means that Newt is angered about the results that he wants to fight on , that's his fighting spirit.
[11:25PMET By Skyler] Gingrich shows some nice words to Santorum ... maybe he is preparing to maybe have some ally with him
[11:26PMET By Kathy Walker] True, to the point that Gingrich says that he is not going to do nasty ads.

Your Decision 2012: Herman Cain Announces He is suspending is champaign

NetFlix Canceles Qwikster

By Ryan B of mychiller money 
 Today Netflix backtracks on separating it's  DVD and streaming services. Before it even began. Here's my reason why I think so.
 (1)Customers didn't like it.

 Netflix announced earlier in the summer they are going to be raising their prices this made their subscribers mad, then they announced that they were going to split the services, that was last month. Consumers were mad but why? Well you would have to either choose between streaming only or DVD only or fork more and pay for both.  Netflix still has much more in DVD's than it does in streaming. Qwikster and Netflix would be two separate websites , two separate bill charges, too much work.  
(2) Share Holders didn't like it.
     After Netflix unveiled its Qwikster plans, its stock, which had been tumbling since July, fell another 25 percent — from $155 on Sept. 16 to $117 last Friday.
  But we did forget something , they aren't changing that price hike plan that they made earlier this summer . That's what caused this trouble
 Netflix was also afraid of competitors  readying to swoop in and take the anger and put it to their advantage, Dish Network's Blockbuster for example. Listening to the customer in a subscriber based business is important and they understood that it was hurting them in the long term.

It happened 10 years ago: remembering 9/11:

   We remember  the words hearing the sky in New York city was a perfect crisp blue and the sun was shining . only then to be blackened by a the World Trade center being attacked by hi-jacked planes. How have we as Americans gone in the past few years. Remember that feeling of being sad on that day, but hope prevailed and people  started acting like people should. Hateful act so wrong so murderous was met with sadness, hope and revenge. Over 3000 people died and the New York skyline was changed  a great hole was left literally and in people's hearts. For many it's not hard to forget this event and what it brought. Terrorism was the word of this new century now,  We shouldn't fear we should learn. We should never this day forget , but it's history now and will always be , time goes on. For those families who lost them it's a painful day by day remembrance.

Opinion by Semma Lennox : American government wants it's hit

    Opinion BY Semma Lenox for Croglog

     The American government wants it's hits. As tries to figure out how to raise the debt ceiling and save that good credit rating of it. America does not deserve a good credit rating it has. If any person had debt like this , they could not raise their debt ceiling so they can go on spending or they won't have a good credit rating.
      Making cuts has been called evil you are going to throw grandma over a cliff and make her work till she's 90. Which is false. Making cuts is moral obligation to our later generations. The government has been spending too much over. It's Former President Bush's fault and Current President Obama's fault. The Liberals and Democrats want to raise taxes, wait a second they make about $2 trillion dollars a year from taxes so what the heck are doing with it? They need their fix of more money to waste and that's not what we need. America's government is an addict they need their hit of money and we need to get them into rehab.

The Republican Change

Politics  make a decision 2012  Opinion  Strategy
 By Robert G for mychiller news

As the 2012 election campaign has pretty much started it surprises me to find a different Republican Party from before. Back in 2008 they were defending the Iraq war much like in 2004 . War-hawk , John McCain became  the nominee for his party in 2008. President Obama when he was still a candidate was being the "anti-bush" man he wanted to make sure you associated John McCain with Former President Bush. He said he was going to close "Gitmo" but it's still open. He said he was going to end the Iraq war , there are still American troops there, he also expanded how many are in Afghanistan and now involved in Libya.  Republicans in congress and the candidates are now  saying get out of Libya and the other places because it costs too much. A change has been made alright. Sunday, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) was fearing his party is become an isolationist party, sounds like 1900's there. I think that is a good move all these going into conflicts doesn't help the United States in the long run .

Opinion: She still is not going to run

Opinion by John Werth for mychiller news

    Sarah Palin is doing a bus tour, that means she's going to run!  I said a couple of weeks ago that Mrs.Palin will not be running for the Republican nomination for the presidency in 2012 , I still say that.  Sarah Palin who may have the taste for the Presidency in 2009 may have lost it  in the few months. She is now doing books , tours, and TV.  She may rather be wanting to have a TV show or a radio show or better yet she may be a person who brings donors to the  Republicans helping other candidates run and show how conservative they are. She's been torn apart by the media in the past couple years , What do you think they would do if she was a presidential candidate? 

Make A decision 2012: Opinion : Why Hucakbee chose not run for president, and Sarah Palin probaly won't on't

Opinion  Make a Decision 2012 
BY John Werth  for Mychiller News

  Mike Huckabee announced , Saturday, that he was not running for President, I am not surprised by that. Think about this he is  a TV star now and he wants to do daytime tv soon, I would think. He said his heart was saying do it run for president. But really ? No just as much as Trump was not ever going to run for president  , the TV networks wasted their time. Why money? He does two things run a business , and be  TV star. Huckabee is making more money, speaking and doing TV then he would be as president.  Now to Sarah Palin, why do I think she's not going to run.  Fox News Channel has a slot opening up soon? Seriously , though she's making more money as the former governor of Alaska.   She's working on TV shows and writing books , being a political anylist so why be President? It's less fun. Get the point they aren't running because of stardom , many things changed since 2009.

Opinion : I wanna see a body

By Darina for myhiller news

   Dear people who wanna see Osama's body,

  What is wrong with you , you wanna see the body of a dead man on your TV and on line? President Obama said something very smart yesterday not to drag a body out like a trophy. I do not support Mr.Obama on many things but this time I agree. That is something he did , his followers cheering the deaths on 9-11 and showing bodies of people he and his people killed. He and his group cheered after the deaths. He was an evil man , I don't wanna seen an evil man on TV dead or alive. Someone told me that the body should be  seen because it would show that this is what you do if you mess with the United States. Sarah Palin tweeted something close to that. That's great don't mess with us is your message, maybe they shouldn't brag about their doing , to show the world that we can act with some class even if we kill someone who is  a murderer that we don't brag about it and not show the body.

Opinion: OBAMA'S Big Mistake

OPINION 
Opinion for Croglog by Lewis O. ( A contributor to croglog , his views don to represent the views of Croglog)

   President Barark Obama tried to give his reasoning for the “No Fly zone” military action in Libya, A reason that was good to interfered in the affairs of another country that was not interfering with another country. A good reason to try to knock a leader out power of said country. I checked my calendar and made sure it wasn't 2003, it sure sounded like it was 2003. “Well Gadaffy is killing is own people”, some try to reason as answer. Mr. Obama and his crew tried to make a reason of why they are sending our streched military to Libya. They are helping people called the rebels , we don't even know who they are ,they could be terrorists groups and we helping people with out full information.

 Wrote this piece his views do not represent the views of mychiller-croglog  his views Represent his own views.
        The protesting in Libya over  Gaddafi , who led the country for 41 years , is getting a  crackdown by the supporters of the dictator. The U.N froze his assets,last month. Talks of no-fly zones and invasion , is haste. The man is crazy. It's sad to see what he is doing  but at the same time if we try to fix it he could probably go crazy and do unthinkable things. The situation is delicate  and needs to be treated carefully , the risks. The Pros and cons of what invasion or no fly zone means.  We should learn about thinking hasty doesn't work as well we have examples of that in chances of crisis. Just as in Egypt , what will happen shall happen and  less people will die if we don't interfere in my own mind.

Rising Gas Price

     Money  Consumer     
    Shelly Mychiller Money-
       Gas prices this week have increased 17¢ following a high rise of oil prices which are scratching between $90 to $100. Gas prices were highest in Hawaii, where drivers paid $3.761 a gallon, on average. Wyoming had the lowest gas prices at roughly, $3.032 a gallon.  This could effect the American economy ,which is mostly consumer spending based . Oil prices have been driven higher by political unrest in North Africa and the Middle East, where much of the world's oil comes from. Despite the surge in prices this week, the amount of oil that has been taken off the world market has been relatively minimal.
