Tuesday Open Thread [1.24.12]
REPUBLICAN PRIMARY
FLORIDA (PPP): Gingrich 38, Romney 33, Santorum 13, Paul 10
“Gingrich has gained 12 points since a PPP poll conducted in Florida a week ago. Romney has dropped 8 points. Paul and Santorum have pretty much remained in place. Their favorability numbers show similar trendlines. Gingrich’s has increased 8 points from +15 (51/36) to +23 (57/34). Meanwhile Romney’s has declined 13 points from +44 (68/24) to +31 (61/30).”
GENERAL ELECTION
NATIONAL (Rasmussen): Obama d. Romney (45-43); Obama d. Gingrich (48-39)
And remember, that is the Republican Rasmussen poll. Add at least three points to Obama’s lead.
This is all kinds of awesome:
An update on the Florida ad war:
Translation: FORMER CONGRESSMAN LINCOLN DIAZ-BALART: “I am Lincoln Diaz-Balart. The presidential election this year will be decisive for the cause of liberty. We have an obligation to confront Barack Obama with the candidate who has the greatest opportunity to win. That is why I am with Romney.”

“War Horse” made the list of nominees for an Academy award for best picture as did “Moneyball” . I have seen both of these movies and I would agree with the nomination of “MoneyBall”, but definitely not for “War Horse”
“MoneyBall” was a decent movie especially if you like movies about sports. Brad Pit’s character had a daughter that kept singing some annoying song, but all in all a decent flick.
“War Horse” on the other hand, was so bad that I didn’t even care if the horse died. The cinematography was pretty cool with all the retro golden age look and stuff, but it still wasn’t enough to keep the movie from sucking.
