The United States was witness to the Final Debate for the Year for GOP Presidential Candidates in Las Vegas. Everyone had a chance to have their say on their views. The pundits have been at it in terms of who won, who lost and who got "forgotten". One of the top three, Marco Rubio, sent out a fundraising appeal as the debate was going on:

Tonight I was constantly attacked by other Republican candidates on the debate stage. I was attacked because they know I am the biggest threat to their success and they are focused on seeing my campaign defeated. They will stop at nothing to tarnish my name and slander our campaign.

The House Speaker informed his caucus that a deal was reached to keep the Goverment operating through next September to avoid a Government Shutdown. Part of the deal has called for a lifting of the 40-year old ban on Exports of US Oil--which will continue to be interesting in terms of the impact it will have on Oil Markets.
