After the billions wasted down the "green energy" rat-hole by the Obama administration, this should come as no surprise!
GM halting production of Chevy Volt
For those who haven't heard, outside of the hundreds of millions lost via loan guarantees for companies like Solyndra and Fisker Automotive, the Volt (Chevy's electric car) was a main initiative.

It would appear that on the heels of a strong performance in the final debate before the upcoming Republican Primaries, the national discussion is turning back to former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich! Recently, he has been highlighting America's looming economic challenge around higher energy prices and proposing elements of a plan that would lead back to more historically-reasonable per-gallon prices.
Hear Newt Gingrich talk about his energy vision

It is unfortunate that some candidates in the Republican Nomination campaign decided to skip the upcoming Super Tuesday / CNN debate.
Real Clear Politics Link
Based on reports, three of the candidates (Romney, Santorum, and Paul) decided to drop out leading to its cancellation.

In campaigns, some things (like momentum) are readily seen and tend to become the repetitive chatter heard among the political talking-heads. Repeated often enough, they soon begin getting associated with certain-sounding terms like "inevitablity". Lost among the noise, it the reality that is ignored among the actual results. This reality germinates with perceptions among many that the assumed definitives do not appear to be supported by what one sees.

For those who have been following, I predicted that Newt Gingrich would win the Republican nomination. Conventional wisdom is telling us that Romney's big win in Florida has all, but cemented his victory in this race.
Possible, yes.......Likely, maybe.....Inevitable, absolutely not!
Romney's victory was strong (double-digits). His campaign is most certainly going to get a immense bump of momentum leading into the February caucus & primary races.

Couple of items of note:
You can tell alot by reviewing language. Based on a word-check of his speech, there seemed to be a lack of words and imagery for specific American ideals....
- Free (twice)
- Freedom (once)
- Opportunity (once)
- Achieve (once)
- Achievement (ZERO)
- Success (three)
Also missing from the speech were the words: KeystoneXL, Solyndra, or (with exception to a short, vague reference) Obamacare - his SIGNATURE legislative accomplishment!

For those who did not practice the self-abuse of suffering through NBC's Florida Presidential Debate, I humbly offer this update:

Very early, our kids learn the song "The-Wheels-On-The-Bus-Go-Round-And-Round". For Mitt Romney's campaign, their theme song for the SC GOP Primary became: "The-Wheels-On-Our-Bus-Keeping-Falling-Off"!

Having just finished CNN's GOP Presidential debate in advance of the SC Primary, a few observations.....

Seriously, are you kidding me? This administration has placed the kowtowing to his kook-fringe environmentalist-wacko liberal base above the economic interests of Americans (both Republican and Democrat)! Then, in a sheer moment of gall, they blame Congressional Republicans for not giving them the "time to make the decision"!
Here's the story from National Journal.
So let's make the simple points for His Highness....
HeyPrezBO!
