E-reader News Edition http://www.LibertyNewspost.com - 28/12/10 Obama up, Palin down in 2012 poll Tabassum Zakaria (Front RowWashington) Submitted at 12/28/2010 10:36:14 AM Dec 28, 2010 11:36 EST President Barack Obama’s reelection prospects seem to be rosier, while former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s chances of being the Republican nominee were souring for 2012, according to a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll. But it’s early yet. Obama is expected to run again in 2012, and CNN said the poll suggests that his tax-cut deal with Republicans, pushed through at year-end, did nothurt him with Democrats. Among Democrats, 78 percent said Obama should be renominated as the party’s presidential candidate, while 19 percent said they wanted a different candidate. Those readings were the highest and lowest respectively since March 2010, when the poll first asked the question. Palin has hintedthat she might run for president, but the poll found 49 percent of Republicans would support that move, down 18 points since December 2008, right after she and John McCain lost to Obama and Joe Biden. Palin lagged behind other Republicans who may seek the 2012 nomination – Mike Huckabee (67 percent), Mitt Romney (59 percent)and Newt Gingrich (54 percent). But it’s still a long way from next winter’s trudge through nominating primaries, caucuses and debates that Republicans will stage to ferret out who they thinkwould best challenge Obama. The winner might not even be any ofthe names being polled in these early stages.

Think U.S. Recovery, Think GE Joseph Lazzaro(BloggingStocks) Submitted at 12/28/2010 2:30:00 PM Filed under: General Electric (GE), Stocks to Buy Diversified industrial giant General Electric ( GE), first discussed here on June 2, 2009 at a price of $13.80, continues to put the summer's bottom at/near $13.75 behind it, with the shares vectoring toward $20, and I obviously still like the stock at this juncture. Look for GE's energy infrastructure, consumer/ industrial, technology units to post revenue increases in 201q, boosted by both emerging market and developed-world demand and order increases. GE should record impressive gains in oil and gas products, health care imaging, and airplane engines. Meanwhile, losses at GE Capital Finance should decline in 2011, as it did it in 2010. Overall 2011 revenue will likely rise 3-4.5%, followed by a 3-5% rise in 2012. Margins should improve to about 12.5% in 2011. Further, despite, disappointing orders for gas turbines, wind power products, and locomotives, overall industrial orders should increase adequately in 2011, building on 2010's good second- half performance.
