[NE Assembyman electoraljew2]

January 1st, 2012- Unemployment at 9.1%

January 5th- With unemployment dropping near 9%, Gingrich's warnings of a second recession seem not too likley. Gingrich has decided to devote most of his resources to make as big win in South Carolina.

January 12th- Once thought of as a low key candidate, Mitch Daniels has made it clear that he is here to win. He has been campaigning hard in Iowa, and so far it so seems to be paying off. The most recent poll in the state conducted by Rasmussen, finds Pawlenty is now down to a five point spread against Daniels.

January 15th- With one day before Iowa, Santorum has decided to head towards South Carolina to try and throw over Gingrich. Pataki has devoted his recent campaigning to New Hampshire, with recent polling showing him in a dead heat there with Pawlenty.

January 16th-

Analysis- As expected Pawlenty did carry the state, but Daniels did come closer than expected. There was low turnout Gingrich, Pataki, and Barbour voters in the state.

January 17th- Following winning less than one percent in the Iowa caucuses, Mike Pence announced today in Indianapolis that he will drop his bid for President and endorse Mitch Daniels for President.

January 20th- In Houston today, Rick Perry announced that he will suspend his bid for president. Perry has not yet announced his endorsment, if any.

January 22nd- With Pawlenty's stance being hurt by his small win in Iowa, former New York Governor George Pataki has taken the oppurtunity to hammer him out in New Hampshire. The race is currently considered a toss up.

I'd rather take Pawlenty, even though he's pretty boring

Good TL though.  Looking forward to the general election.
