News Update

As sort of predicted here, but not really: Tancredo didn't tell very many people before his announcement. He endorsed Mitt Romney.

And Rudy Giuliani is out of the hospital (or, "out of hospital," as they say in Britain), his somewhat elongated stay fueling plenty of speculation that he was sick... but the doctors were just waiting for all the tests to come back...various Giuliani sputum cultures and such... and he has a clean bill of health. A statement from his campaign:

"Mayor Giuliani is being released from Barnes Jewish Hospital with a clean bill of health. Doctors performed a series of precautionary tests and the results of all the tests were normal. The Mayor is heading back to New York this afternoon and he continues to be in high spirits."

I don't understand the GOP as well as I understand the Democrats, but that should be a big help for Willard in Iowa, no? Especially given that he was already hitting the Huckster on the issue...

Maybe with his newfound free time Tom Tancredo can mow Mitt Romney's lawn?

I think all of the people here should appreciate my analysis. A week when I said that Obama is in trouble, you all laughed at me.

Now, what happened. 8% of American voters think Obama is a Muslim. How? Shaheen, Penn on Hardball, Bill on Rose, Bill chasing Register editors, Kerrey, etc.

The attack of Clinton Machine is relentless.

Obama is like a quarterback that has a blind-side. He did not see the Clinton Attack Machine.

This election is over. If there are Obama voters, like me out there, accept your loser status now. May be you can at least have a Christmas with you family with less anxiety.

It is over. The Machine has won.

Mrs. Clinton will be President for next 8-yeras.

The debate now is on who will be the VP. My guess it is Wes. Clark or Bill Richardson.

You know, it's probably my paranoid streak - but it seems to me that Giuliani could have had more than the flu. What *flu symptom*, exactly, causes you to call your doctors while your plane is in the air (from Missouri to NYC - not a really long flight), and then have them tell you to turn the plane around? And then admit you to the hospital for an overnight stay? Maybe he's just getting great, aggressive medical treatment for a not-too-serious ailment, but I wouldn't put any faith in that idea.

Yeah, I find the Giuliani think deeply weird, and it seems like a lot of people do too, but don't want to say anything.

"Flu-like symptoms"? Who goes to the hospital for that? Much less turning your plane around after it was already in the air?

There's something he's not telling us.
