The 12 Kinds of Undecided Voters

Just over one-half of the Iowa Republicans surveyed by Time/CNN this week said they would ?definitely support? the candidate they backed at the time of the poll. Among the remainder, opinions are still fluid?by any measure, a staggeringly high share of likely voters. A much higher percentage of voters appear to make late decisions in the caucuses than in presidential general elections: While 10 percent of voters nationwide in the fall of 2008 told exit pollsters they made up their minds in the race?s final week, 40 percent of Republican caucus-goers in Iowa that year did. Seventeen percent said they made up their mind on the day of the caucuses. ??This presents a serious challenge for the Republicans vying for votes in this year?s Iowa caucus. To make matters worse, many voters who tell pollsters they?re undecided are actually anything but?they?ve made up their mind, but for one reason or another, don?t care to share their feelings with pollsters. What?s more, studies have shown that many undecided voters don?t ever show up to vote in elections at all, making efforts to win them over doubly doomed. But the candidates do have some strategies for dealing with this squirrely segment of the electorate. Campaigns know, for instance, that undecided voters are not all the same. Here are a dozen different types of self-described undecided voters, and how the Republican presidential candidates are dealing with them in the final days before the Iowa caucus. N.B.: Some voters likely fit into more than one category.

New Mexico Retail Sector 10th Best Since Recession

New Mexico Business Journal - Things may be looking up for the retail sector, but it's still a long way from a full recovery. Just six of the 50 states have more retail jobs today than they did at the end of 2006, according to an On Numbers analysis of U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Business Journals Texas retail sector leads nation in jobs and Florida was among worst states for retail job losses.? The study reflects the devastating impact of the recession that officially began in December 2007. The nation lost 753,800 retail jobs between November 2006 and November 2011, the latest month for which official figures are available. Retail sector employment in New Mexico has fared better than most states. In Nov. 2006, the state had 94,500 retail jobs and in Nov. 2011 it had 92,600, for a loss of 1,900. The decline still ranks New Mexico 10th-best in the BLS data. In addition, the drop of 2.01 percent is 9th-best among the 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Coach Fox: playoffs are now

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Denver Broncos head coach John Fox considers Sunday?s regular season finale against Kansas City to be a must-win game, even though the Broncos could still make the playoffs with a loss.

"My mind is much like a playoff game already. We need to win this game. That will determine our fate,? Fox told reporters at Dove Valley Monday.

The Broncos and Oakland Raiders are tied atop the AFC West with records of 8-7. However, based on NFL tiebreaker rules, only the Broncos control their own playoff hopes.

The Broncos, who have lost two straight, will clinch the AFC West with a win over the Chiefs. But they could also back into the playoffs if they lose to Kansas City and the Raiders lose in San Diego.

"Whoever shows up and executes the best Sunday is going to win. That hasn't been any different the first 15 games," said Fox.

Sunday also provides Chiefs quarterback Kyle Orton with a chance to extract revenge on his former team.

Orton was benched by the Broncos earlier in the season for Tim Tebow, later released, and then picked up by Kansas City.

Fox downplayed the coincidence.

"There's familiarity (with Orton), just like any division game, whether it's the whole team or a player."

Stealth Tech, Facebook Revolutions, Shadow Wars: The Most Dangerous Year Ever


When 2011 began, Osama bin Laden was still alive, U.S. troops were still fighting in Iraq, and Iran could only dream about capturing our most advanced spy drone. By the end of the year -- everything had flipped upside-down. America's shadow wars grew, as its conventional conflicts shrank. Secret tech was suddenly not so secret any more. Dictators in place for decades suddenly found themselves out of jobs, thanks in no small part to Facebook. Even the ordinarily sacrosanct Pentagon budget was suddenly under fire. It was, in retrospect, a decidedly crazy, thoroughly exhausting, and utterly exhilarating year. It's hard to imagine what more could be in store for 2012.

2011 was definitely the most dangerous year ever -- if you were an al-Qaida bigwig. Most famously, Navy SEALs finally killed Osama bin Laden in May, removing from the Earth the world's most infamous terrorist and puncturing al-Qaida's most potent symbol of resilience. It was an operation that showed off just how deadly the U.S. really is. Special operations forces paired with CIA operatives, prepped with spy satellites, and equipped with the latest stealth gear. Then, less than four months later, the U.S. proved its lethality again. An American missile strike in Yemen killed al-Qaida's chief online propagandist, Anwar al-Awlaki.

No wonder al-Qaida didn't come close to bombing the U.S. at home, unlike its efforts in 2009 and 2010. Instead, it lost two of its most important figures; a treasure trove of its data; and suffered the kind of setbacks that have Washington talking about capital-V Victory.

Al-Qaida looks like it's in crisis mode now. Top government officials think it's almost a spent force. Its new leader, Ayman Zawahiri, is an uncharismatic, divisive figure. The bin Laden raid gave the U.S. access to dozens of cellphones, thumb drives and computer hard drives revealing terrorist secrets. (Also, bin Laden's porn.) The costly 9/11 Era may actually soon be a relic of the past -- if, that is, we can stop being so afraid of the terrorists who got rolled in 2011.
