   Another 2 debate for Republicans is this week , one tonight on FOX NEWS Channel (9PMET) and another CNN Debate ,Thursday (8PMET ), haven't we gotten enough debates ? Do we need to me the candidates still , the same questions asked? Though  CNN and FOX debates are better than ABC and NBC's sad excuses of debates.   We have understood where each candidate  stands on each issue, the questions are now getting redundant. The networks should stop now , and candidates should say no that's what ended the debate with Newsmax,last month. 

    The cable networks , maybe want more ratings , but at the cost of just annoying people and making the message seem less useful. I do think the debates and the elections so far have weeded out the candidates out don't cut the voters eye. The debate system is messed-up , they pick people out of polls ,which annoy me , Buddy Romer is running for president but he wasn't in the debates because his poll numbers were low, his poll numbers were low because he wasn't in the debates were people could see him, he  not being in the debates didn't help him because the networks weeded him out for no reason. 

  But please can we stop with the debates until we now have the 2 candidates for the general made?

One life to live ends in 1 day

SOAPS dayitme One LIfe to live 1968-2012 

  As 'One Life to Live" ends on Friday  the 13th of January ,we  look back all the soaps that were canceled since 2007.

  Passions (NBC) 1999-2007 it was replaced by local programming on stations , so NBC could expand the "TodayShow" for  a 4th hour. 

"Guiding Light" (CBS) 1937-2009 it ran on radio first on NBC Radio, then CBS Radio, moved to TV in 1952 it ended in 2009 after 72 years  due to low ratings and CBS wanting to save money , it was replaced by a re-make of the game show "Let's Make A deal,

Post New Hampshire media review.

Media Choice 2012
  C1. no weebles  ,Nothing here is listed by how important it is. CNN did use their "flick" technology but the little "weebles" disappeared.
     2. What do we do all night? Most of the news channels started a 6PMET  with coverage and for about 2 hours they waited for the polls to close. 8PMET , the declared Romney the winner and now they got bored,they carried the winner's  speech, the 2nd place ,Ron Paul speech, 3rd place Huntsman, 4th place Santorum and 5th place Gingrich. Perry didn't do one and they forget about Buddy Rohmer.  So by 10pmET they were just talking about what will happen in South Carolina and most of the channels went to bed at 1AMET.
  3. So no Olbermann  Current TV , didn't have Keith Olbermann again  but the 3 people from last time , Cenk Uygur, fmr. Govenor Jennifer Granholm , Fmr. Vice President and Co-founder of Current TV, Al Gore (he was in a screen this time) , this coverage was even slower and  last exited than last time and they did end at 11PMET ,again but this time they had a winner.
 4.  This Governor doesn't like MSNBC opinion hosts   [LInk and there's a video from Mediaite] reason not to have  Opinion hosts for a news event.
5.  This is just funny or sad ?  Wolf Blitzer asks Huntsman daughters are you available? 
see you in South Carolina , Media

The Media what to watch for NH Primary Preview

Straight Forward  Choice 2012  Media 
  By Skyler
  New Hampshire voters , get to vote in the NH republican primaries tonight and of course the media is covering it like there's no tomorrow.
    Here's our look at what the media preview is for coverage tonight.
 1. Already a winner   The media already is declaring Fmr. Governor Mitt Romney the winner of the primary , because they are using poll data. I do say it's wrong to delcare a winner and wonder who's second. Elections are not for the media to say who the winner is before votes are counted.
 2. CNN tech   Cnn , last week during the Iowa Caucus  launched some new tech like "weebles" and "flick" will they use this again tonight or because of all the jokes about it last week  they choose not too.
 3. Current TV  Keith Olbermann will be there tonight , last week they cut off before the votes final announcement was made , so let's hope they don't do that tonight. .
 4. Fox Business and the business channels  , FOX Business  we say  is doing a great job at covering the elections anchor Neil Cavuto will be anchoring tonight.  CNBC will not be covering tonight , Bloomberg will do one hour at 9pmET. We hope they would cover more , If you do coverage you should do more than 1 hour.
