RSSMitt Romney Wins New Hampshire Republican Party Committee Straw Poll with 35%
The race is on for 2012 …
As reported at ABC News, Mitt Romney, former Massachusetts governor, wins the New Hampshire Republican Party Committee Straw Poll with 35% of the vote. US Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) was a distant second with 11% while former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin finished fourth with 7%. Palin’s place is rather understandable seeing that she has yet to visit the Granite state.
In the first ever “straw poll” of New Hampshire Republican party committee members sponsored by ABC News and WMUR and sanctioned by the state Republican party, ex-Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney took 35 percent of the 276 valid ballots cast. This is just 3 percent more than Romney took in the 2008 GOP primary, when he finished in second place behind Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.
The “straw poll” was open only to the 426 registered members of the Republican committee, and 65 percent of those committee members participated.
Full WMUR, ABC News, NH GOP 2012 Straw Poll Results can be seen HERE.
The names on the straw poll ballot were as follows:
They are: Michele Bachmann, Haley Barbour, Chris Christie, Herman Cain, Mitch Daniels, Jim DeMint, Newt Gingrich, Rudy Giuliani, Judd Gregg, Mike Huckabee, Jon Huntsman, Gary Johnson, Sarah Palin, Ron Paul, Tim Pawlenty, Mike Pence, Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum, John Thune and Donald Trump.
Honestly, not only do straw polls mean little, it is far too early to gain anything from this. Obviously Romney is going to do well, he was a governor in a bordering New England state. He has name recognition due to proximity. Most of the GOP candidates have no even begun to make their push and nor should they. I am political as the next person, but its far too soon to dwell on the 2012 Presidental race.

Markham Elementary School Teacher Suspended after 2nd Graders Reportedly Engage In Sex Acts in Oakland, CA
Oakland, CA schools: Reading, Writing and Sex Acts …
An unnamed teacher at the Markham Elementary School in Oakland, CA has been suspended with pay indefinitely after school officials said a pair of second graders performed sex acts on each other in class, with a teacher present. WHAT!!! Yes, you heard that correct, not just one incident, but two. How does something like this happen when a teacher was present? Can one only imagine what else is allowed to go on in this classroom! Unreal, this was second grade. We are talking 7 and 8 year olds. This was not one incident, but two. In one of the incidents that occurred, a boy and girl reportedly engaged in oral sex in front of their classmates.
“I think everyone is taken aback over this shocking incident,” Troy Flint, the spokesman for the Oakland Unified School District, told CBS 5. “Of course, it is hard to understand how that could have occurred.”
Flint said the sex acts incident was one of two separate cases under investigation involving the teacher; both incidents occurred last week in the same classroom but he said they didn’t come to the attention of school officials until Wednesday.
In one case, several students apparently took off their clothes and were naked in the classroom. In the second incident, a boy and girl reportedly engaged in oral sex in front of their classmates.
One has to wonder how the teachers name was not released. I can understand the minors, but why isn’t the teacher’s name that was present named? Sorry, but this is the cockroach principle. School officials claims that nothing like this is in the unnamed teachers past. Oh, how do you know? Most likely it was just never reported.

Moonbat Keith Olbermann & Countdown Is Out at MSNBC – Na, Na, Na, Na, Hey, Hey, Goodbye
DING, DONG OLBERMANN AND COUNTDOWN IS GONE … GOOD RIDDANCE!!!
Effective immediately, Keith Olbermann is out at MSNBC. It just goes to show you, ratings or no ratings, if new management thinks you are a liability, you are out. Keith Olbermann, the far left moonbat and MSNBC’s highest rated host is out, effectively immediately.
Na, Na, Na, Na, Hey, Hey, Hey … Goodbye
The host, who has had a stormy relationship with the management of the network for some time, especially since he was suspended for two days last November, came to an agreement with NBC’s corporate management late this week to settle his contract and step down.
In a closing statement on his show, Mr. Olbermann said simply that it would be the last edition of the program. He offered no explanation other than on occasion “all that surrounded the show – but never the show itself – was just too much for me.”
Olbermann’s swan song speech hardly sounds like his rantings of the worst person in the world

MSNBC’s Chris Matthews Hypocrisy, Whines of Lack Of Civility While Acting Uncivil … Says Bachmann ‘Close to a Nutcase’
Hypoc”CHRISY” …
File this one under more moonbat hypocrisy for the liberal main stream media. MSNBC’s Chris Matthews just cant help himself as he puts the “cris” is hypocrisy. As reported at Fox Nation, ever since the Tucson, AZ shooting, Matthews has been portraying Conservatives as creating a climate of hate, being mean spirited and
Define hypocrisy?
- insincerity by virtue of pretending to have qualities or beliefs that you do not really have
- the act of persistently pretending to hold beliefs, opinions, virtues, feelings, qualities, or standards that one does not actually hold.
Chris Matthews talks about civility, yet he calls people nutcases. He whines about the political tone; however, does the same thing in his segment. What a joke. Matthews says, “I don’t know hoe she is allowed to be an extremist, … and close to a nut case.” Matthews also went on top say, “I thought there was some deference about these things”. This coming from MSNBC.

RINO Senator Lisa Murkowski Sides with Democrats, GOP Attempt at Repealing Obamacare a Waste of Time
Once RINO, always a RINO …
What a shock RINO Alaskan US Senator echos the Democrat party that the Senate does not have the votes to repeal Obamacare. As reported in The Hill, Murkowski ”mimicked a Democratic argument against GOP repeal efforts”; Democrats say that Republicans have gone back on their calls to focus on jobs by holding a health care vote as their first major action of the 112th Congress.
Murkowski claims she would vote for the repeal of Obamacare, yet she calls it a waste of time? A note to Senator Murkowski, unlike your election in the 49th state, the rest of America elected Republicans who promised to do the will of the people and dismantle Obamacare.
