WASHINGTON -- Just two weeks before the crucial presidential Iowa caucuses, Newt Gingrich, the Republican presidential front-runner, found himself again mired by questions about his ties to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae after federal regulators sued six former executives of the two beleaguered lending giants over charges of securities fraud. The charges came the morning after rivals hammered the former House speaker for his ties to Freddie Mac, the federally backed loan company that, along with Fannie Mae, some conservatives have been blamed for deepening the country’s housing bust. Gingrich has insisted that he was never a lobbyist

Who knows what will happen in next year's historically demanding election? No one. We all wish we could predict the future, and if I knew that Obama was getting re-elected, I would liquate what few assets I have remaining and head to Roatonga in the Cook Islands where the Maori wear flip flops and sell a few beads to the Kewi tourists.

But since I have no crystal ball, let's examine what the election dynamics are telling us.

(via Lucianne.com)

"....President Obama’s uphill battle to re-election is getting steeper. A report released today by the centrist think-tank Third Way showed that more than 825,000 voters in eight key battleground states have fled the Democratic Party since Obama won election in 2008. “The numbers show that Democrats’ path to victory just got harder,” said Lanae Erickson, the report’s co-author. “We are seeing both an increase in independents and a decrease in Democrats and that means the coalition they have to assemble is going to rely even more on independents in 2012 than it did in 2008.”

W-T-H?!

The White House has classified the Fort Hood massacre as "workplace violence."

I am feeling slightly nauseous at the stupidity of that statement. This administration is putting all of us in jeopardy with delusional thinking.

"....Sen. Susan Collins on Wednesday blasted the Defense Department for classifying the Fort Hood massacre as workplace violence and suggested political correctness is being placed above the security of the nation's Armed Forces at home.

During a joint session of the Senate and House Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday, the Maine Republican referenced a letter from the Defense Department depicting the Fort Hood shootings as workplace violence. She criticized the Obama administration for failing to identify the threat as radical Islam."
