Rudy G. - Tested, Ready NOT!!

I for one will really miss the nasty SOB, but sayonara. The rat bastard will inappropriately laugh his ass to the bank.

Please Set Rudy Free

As his Florida poll numbers erode, I for one am still hopeful for a true Rudy movement. Let's see the cantankerous, old know-it-all who dominated the NYC media and political scene for so long. His stilted, well-coached toothy grin is as legit as Bernie Kerik. Doesn't anyone else find his omnipresent chuckle to questions, irrespective of its gravity troubling. I understand it is a carefully planned technique, but the bald contrivance more than a bit disturbing.

Iowa Predictions

The Huck is waning and despite Romney's stumbling, "what position does this group favor" campaign, Romney's superior cash position and organization carry the day. Romney's long-term position is more tenuous. McCain's surge in NH is legit and could seriously benefit from A Clinton win in Iowa. While the talking heads are increasingly suggesting the futility of Rudy's strategy, his only (extremely limited) chance is complete mayhem. Note further that the republican orthodoxy (Fox News excepted) has decided Mitt, with all his foibles, is there best hope and are finally distancing themselves from Rudy and his single-issue bid.

For the Dems things are a little less clear. Edwards has a die-hard base in Iowa, but ultimately I think it isn't enough to beat Clinton. Obama peaked a bit too early and is relying on too many first time caucus attendees. Thus, I think Hilary wins and establishes herself as the putative democratic nominee.

Just my thoughts, worth just what you paid for them

I'm Back . . . .

if anyone cares, time to write a bit again. BTW Happy New Year!!!
