Caucuses are odd things - trudging through the February snow to sit in someone's living room and talk about who should be POTUS. They turn up some odd results.
You can kind of, maybe see a way for Rubio from here. But not Jeb.
Joe Louis used to host The Bum a Month Club.
Last month's bum was Carson and now we've got Cruz.
Fewer present than yesterday on all sides but same story as yesterday in that there was far higher turnout by Con (and LD) than Lab - and just enough for Con to win again.

On topic - honestly, as bland and ineffective as he's apparently been, I'm surprised Bush receives a 6,7 or 5 in those polls. Still spending big?
Am I correct in recalling that last time around pretty much all the contenders had their polling moment in the sun ahead of Iowa, and Santorum's just seemed timed right for the poll itself?
Prince Charles receives copies of confidential cabinet documents, according to government papers released after a freedom of information battle.

GET A HOBBY
Given that they are farm animals, there are probably some unauthorized leaks.
Well, they are nice.
But not that nice....

Does it have any realistic chance?
You remember when Fiorina was the media's favourite (and I said stay away from her, she is a disaster) ?

"Obama ate one of your cousins, vote Republican"
"Some people on twitter say that I remind them of Cruella De Ville"
'Apparently if you bring this presidential candidate, who used to be doing well, and now is a mess, a whole bunch of money he will do a complete 180 on many of his positions. He doesn’t want you to know that though. Unless you have money and need a favor'

'You have to love a presidential candidate, who is not doing that badly, be able to hashtag family photos with #Narcos #NarcosLife. Should make for an interesting war on drugs if he gets elected.'

'We have the scoop about a dramatic revelation that is expected to shake up the U.S. Presidential race within the next few weeks! One of the candidates who is expected to make it through to the primary election is going to have to face accusations about a very recent affair. The person with whom they were having the affair: A lobbyist! Needless to say, this accusation will raise all kinds of questions about impulse control, judgment, honesty, integrity, and vulnerability to influence from special interest groups… as well as their portrayal of themselves as "happily married" and committed to family values. This could be a game-changer, folks!'

Rubio has a real problem though with a corruption scandal that came out today, in that he may have violated the Congressional Ethics Rules about the finances of one of his books in relation to a donor, there will probably be an investigation by a congressional committee, but the corruption allegations will bug him until the committee ruling about it.

I know she might be desperate but "Obama eats Dogs, vote Fiorina who loves dogs" is worthy of ridicule.
But I did warn everyone on PB not to back her at the time when the media was pimping for her, so I'm covered.
She deserves to be polling 1%.
They seem to be tracking the trajectories of the classic films, thus:
Star Trek: The Motion Picture, A giant ship threatens Earth.
Star Trek (2009), A giant ships threatens Earth.
Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan, Khan shows up and tries to kill Kirk.
Star Trek: Into Darkness, Khan shows up and tries to kill Kirk.
Star Trek 3: The Search for Spock, The Enterprise is destroyed.
Star Trek: Beyond, The Enterprise is destroyed
Mixing my franchise metaphors Sunil-style, I have to say I have a bad feeling about this...
Carson and Rubio are the only ones not doing that badly, unless they still think that Bush is still in that category.
I've just watched a two minute trailer. it was 100% male dominated and you really had to concentrate to understand even half of what they were talking about, so I very much doubt it will have the popular appeal to get close to winning best Picture.
The Times this morning also mentioned that, perhaps surprisingly, opposition leaders live longer than victorious PMs
Not to mention the actors who look like they've been to a Clearasil factory and look nothing like ordinary people, especially with their permanent glued smiles even if the world crashes around them.
George Lucas already did his best to milk Star Wars to death with his silly prequels, and Disney has finally killed it.

And that concludes my rant.
They need to check Jeb for a pulse. He's in trouble. He needs to shine.
I'm a big fan of Batman. Despite being made before I was born I like the incredibly camp Adam West 60s series (watched that as TV reruns as a boy), the 80s films (first two at least of that series) and the Dark Knight trilogy. Same character done differently each time and entertaining each time.
The problem is when they feel the need to tell the same story each time. We don't need the first half of every Spiderman film to be showing how he gets bitten by a spider and Uncle Ben dies etc
@BritainElects: Shepperton Town (Spelthorne) result:
CON: 62.0% (+6.1)
UKIP: 13.0% (-5.4)
LDEM: 11.1% (-0.8)
LAB: 8.9% (-4.8)
GRN: 4.9% (+4.9)
"There she is !"
Princess Liz: Governor Corbyn, I should have expected to find you holding Livingstone's leash. I recognized your foul stench when I was brought onboard.
Grand Moff Corbyn: Charming to the last. You don't know how hard I found it, signing the order to terminate your political career.
Princess Liz: [sarcastically] I'm surprised you had the courage to take the responsibility yourself.
Grand Moff Corbyn: Princess Liz, before your deselection, I would like to invite you to a ceremony that will make this progressive party operational. No Labour Stronghold will dare oppose the Corbynistas now.
Princess Liz: The more you tighten your grip, Corbyn, the more safe seats will slip through your fingers.
Grand Moff Corbyn: Not after we demonstrate the power of this policy. In a way, you have determined the choice of the constituency that is to be targeted first. Since you are reluctant to provide us with the location of the Rebel base, I have chosen to test our activists' destructive power on your home planet of Leicester.
Princess Liz: [shocked] No! Leicester is peaceful, we have no weapons. You can't possibly—
Grand Moff Corbyn: You would prefer another target, a military target? Then name the system! [stepping closer to Liz and pinning her against Darth Livingstone] I grow tired of asking this, so it will be the last time. Where is the Rebel base?
Princess Liz: [looks at view-screen showing Leicester for a moment, then, resigned] Derby. They're all on Derby.
Grand Moff Corbyn: There you see, Lord Livingstone? She can be reasonable. Proceed with the operation. You may fire when ready.
Princess Liz: [indignant] What?!
Grand Moff Corbyn: You're far too trusting. Derby is too remote to make an effective demonstration, but don't worry. We will deal with your rebel friends soon enough!
[Liz watches helplessly as Leftist activists descend on Leicester]
Star Trek II, III and IV form a story arc.
On another note, I've just spent 7 hours journeying by train and bus, and must get back on the rails in about 6 hours. I really hate travelling. And Corbyn is not eating into Green support either! This is definitive proof.
Good night all.

But that's it. Well done. 'Corinthian leather'.
