The Great Predictor :Super Tuesday Edition

SUPER TUESDAY 

By Kathy Walker for mychiler

    The voters , of course always have a say in elections , and Media pundits are always trying make up  who they think they will win by thinking  how people will think when voting . I made predictions during the election (MI and Az Primaries ) that were right, just by guessing and not using polls and thinking on how people are thinking about thinking for who they will vote for. 

  Alaska , that big land mass in the north , west of Canada. I Think will go for Dr. Ron Paul (R-TX),The next state, Georgia , this is Newt Gingrich's home state , I think he will win since that's where he is from. Massachusetts, another Mitt Romney home state, so it should go for him, I know it wouldn't be Newt because he kept calling Mitt Romney a Massachusetts Liberal or Moderate. Oklahoma , the state, not the play, will go to Mitt Romney not Sanoturm ... I am going on a limb against the media pundits here. North Dakota  , I say will go for Santorum here. Idaho I think can also go to Ron Paul. Tennessee , I will say goes for RIck Santorum.  Vermont, is Mitt Romney's area , so I say it goes to him. Virginia is  a special case, since Santorum and Gingrich aren't on the ballot so I say it goes to Romney. I'll give the other big price, Ohio, to Romney. 

see you on Super Tuesday.

THE OP-ED heard and history around it [Opinion and Review]

Opinion | Guest Commentary
By Matthew K writing for Mychiller  
  In 2008 Mitt Romney wrote an op-ed for the New York Times ,  about the auto companies,the American auto-makers who were begging for a bail-out at the time.  This happened too: 
         From CNN : 

                Some lawmakers lashed out at the CEOs of the Big Three auto companies Wednesday for flying private jets to Washington to request taxpayer bailout money.

   That was Novemember 19th 2008 when that article came out. 
From the New York Times :

         The Senate on Thursday night abandoned efforts to fashion a government rescue of the American automobile industry, as Senate Republicans refused to support a bill endorsed by the White House and Congressional Democrats. 

That was December 11th 2008.
   From ABC NEWS , also on December 11th 2008.

               Even if TARP funds are made available to the Big Three, would that save the automakers from bankruptcy, or just delay it?

As yes what a good question  if  GM and Chrysler got the  TARP bail out, would that delay it ? T.A.R.P , if you forgot what it was , was the bank bailouts of 2008 under President Bush. It cost $787 billion dollars of Tax-payer money.

Auto Bail Outs ... are still not liked says poll

THE Full look 
By Rachel K for mychiller
 It's been about 3-4 years since the government funded bail outs of GM and Chrysler , there was some scrutiny on Mitt Romney's 2008 OP-ED piece. But how to American's feel about them now?
       According a  recent Gallop poll : 51% of Americans still disapprove of them while 44% agree, it's also a split by party lines.  73% of Republicans oppose and 63% of Democrats support. 50% of independents  disapprove while 43%   approve.
   Meanwhile here are the status numbers :
   GM which got $50billion  it has paid back $22billion.
GM has been having a good season for now , so has Chrysler ,which is now 58.5% owned by Fiat.
   Now it does the disapproval is down but that is with age mostly.
 Also according to polls  by different areas of the country.
  On The East  51% of those asked disapprove, while 44% approve , the MidWest( where Detroit  is )  50% disapprove  while 46% approve. In the south , where many foreign automakers have plants, 50% disapprove 44% approve, West  55% disapprove  and 42% approve.

Politics  Choice 2012 

By Skyler M and Kathy Walker 

   Here comes Michigan and Arizona's primaries... it's  big chance for the first big primaries since Florida, last month and the last until Super Tuesday, the week later. Mitt Romney , if he wants to become the media front runner again  he has to win both or just Michigan to get his momentum and status back. Former senator Rick Santorum , has been on a roll since he won , Missouri, Minnesota,and Colorado  he has been very covered in this month. Newt Gingrich , who is not leading well in these two states has been focused on Super Tuesday states that happen on March 6th. Ron Paul who hasn't won a state, unless you count Maine as fraudulent results that cheated him, he hasn't won a state. 

                                                                       February 28th                                                  

                                                                                 Primary       Arizona     29 Delegates at stake (Proportional)                                         

                                                                                                    Michigan   30 Delegates at stake (Proportional)           

 Michigan is considered a home state for Mr.Romney his father was governor there from 1963-1969 , and President of the now defunct American Motors Corporation.  But recent polls show it close or Romney leading by a couple points it wasn't like that before but it's like that now. Romney is leading in Arizona by 13 points .

     Kathy's Predictions : Michigan will go to Mitt Romney  but it won't be pretty ...Arizona will too a good night for him but  a squeaker non the less.  Second will be Santorum and 3rd wiil be Ron Paul . 

Skyler's Outlook:  No one will be quitting after  that's pretty much known but it's a moral boaster for anyone who wins these races.
