New Poll – Mitt Romney Leads All Possible Republican Candidates in Iowa! #Insanity

Ann Romney has a lot of memos to send, and she should start sending them to the voters in Iowa. Although Ann tried today to guarantee Americans that Mitt Romney would never run for President again, Iowa voters are not listening. They want Mittens more than they want any other Republican candidate in 2016!

Romney was the top vote-getter in the poll with 17 percent and Dr. Ben Carson, a conservative neurosurgeon who has never held public office, came in second with 11 percent.

Carson told Fox News’ Sean Hannity Monday night that the chances of him running are “50/50.”

Iowa Republicans were less enthusiastic about other potential candidates, most of whom currently hold public office and are better nationally recognized.

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul came in third in the poll with 10 percent, but New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush failed to make waves with 6 percent and 4 percent each.

The poll results came a day after Romney’s wife Ann insisted to the Los Angeles Times that there was no chance of a third Romney presidential bid.

Facebook Founder will Donate $25Million To Fight Ebola

In a personal Facebook message, Mark Zuckerburg said he and his wife Priscilla “are donating $25 million to the Centers for Disease Control Foundation to help fight Ebola.

“The Ebola epidemic is at a critical turning point. It has infected 8,400 people so far, but it is spreading very quickly and projections suggest it could infect 1 million people or more over the next several months if not addressed.

“We need to get Ebola under control in the near term so that it doesn’t spread further and become a long term global health crisis that we end up fighting for decades at large scale, like HIV or polio.

“We believe our grant is the quickest way to empower the CDC and the experts in this field to prevent this outcome.

“Grants like this directly help the frontline responders in their heroic work. These people are on the ground setting up care centers, training local staff, identifying Ebola cases and much more.

“We are hopeful this will help save lives and get this outbreak under control.

Chris Christie – “I would rather die than be in the United States Senate”

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie made some rather interesting comments over the weekend. Speaking to the NAACP in New Jersey, Christy said that being senator is nowhere in his future, that he would rather die than serving in that position.

“I would rather die than be in the United States Senate. Okay? I would be bored to death. Could you imagine me banging around that chamber with 99 other people, asking for a motion on the amendment in the subcommittee? Forget it.”

“It would be over, everybody,” Christie said, the crowd apparently amused by the thought. “You’d watch me just walk out and walk right into the Potomac River and drown. That would be it.”

Christie also promised that he would never run for public office in New Jersey again. And considering his dismal performance as governor and the low approval ratings he received from New Jersey residents, I’m sure they’re applauding his decision to stay out of Jersey politics.

“Believe me, by the way, when I say ‘I’m never running for public office in New Jersey again. I mean I’ll never run for public office in New Jersey again.”

There goes the Applause!

Barber Slashed Man’s Throat in California

An Imperial Beach barber sliced his customer’s neck in the middle of a straight razor shave Monday, police said.

Cops arrested 22-year-old Daniel Flores on attempted murder charges shortly after the nightmare slashing at Vic’s Barber Shop, Fox 5 San Diego reported.

Witnesses said there was no fight between Flores and his customer, 33-year-old Timothy Paul Vaughn. Instead, the Sweeny Todd-like hairdresser cut the man’s throat during the shave, bolted from the store and fled to his aunt’s house, where police nabbed him.

Vaughn’s condition is not known, but he is expected to survive, police said.

Police did not detail the two men’s relationship: it’s not clear if Vaughn was a long-time client or a new customer. Investigators have not discussed a possible motive.

Ebola Patient in a Germany Hospital has Died

“The man was the third patient to arrive in Germany in recent weeks for treatment of Ebola, and the first to die.”
———–
A 56-year-old male Ebola patient who had been working with the United Nations in Liberia died overnight at the hospital in Leipzig where he was
being treated, the hospital said Tuesday in a statement quoted by the German news media.

The brief statement gave no further details. The man was the third patient to arrive in Germany in recent weeks for treatment of Ebola, and the first to die.

The first patient, a Senegalese man who worked for the World Health Organization, was treated in Hamburg from late August until Oct. 3, when he was released. He has since returned home. The second patient, a Ugandan doctor who was working in West Africa for an Italian aid organization, continues to receive treatment at a hospital in Frankfurt.

The St. Georg clinic in Leipzig, where the man who died was treated, announced his arrival last Thursday in a statement. At the time, doctors said his condition was critical, but stable, and there were no further updates on his status.
