BIG TEMPEST IN TENNESSEE - for Just A Minute Radio on Tuesday 120306

Today will be one of those anticipatory ones – except multiply it by a factor of ten x.

 

Looks like a lot of ‘scores’ trying to be settled today. This should move things along after a day or two and get it closer to a winnowed down race.

 

Of course Mr. Paul plans to be in there to the bitter end… except if he gets some offer he can’t refuse (like a choice spot on the Convention program so he can rant nationwide) but that’s politics.

 

Mr. Gingrich says if he doesn’t win GA he’ll quit… not sure I quite believe that. But we’ll see. Doesn’t look like it’s a very risky bet. The question will be has Mr. Santorum burned his bridge behind him as far as being of some help in the General Election.  I’m not a successful chess player to the point of being able to tell… Maybe a Ouija board would be better? (L)

 

I dunno… From the correspondence I see flowing in some of the states… it’s going to take a while to settle down into running this campaign like it ought to run. We’ve already had a LOT of bumps… lots of people didn’t sign up for this long a slog or ride or whatever.  Anyway… time for a good nights rest to cut back on the Alzheimer’s if that’s the way you spell it.

 

Just take it easy – have another cuppa tea without the caffeine…. I don’t think there will be any spectacular cliffhangers.

 

Cordially, IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”

BIG TEMPEST IN TENNESSEE

            Just a Minute: Since we can’t look at ten states today – we’ll look at Tennessee -- it’s probably the tightest contest. Mr. Gingrich most likely will carry his home state of Georgia by about ten percent – so the big fight will likely occur in the Volunteer State.

            Senator Lamar Alexander, a Tennessee Republican, says The President is asking House Democrats "to hold hands, jump off a cliff and hope ‘Dingy Harry’ the Senate Majority Leader, will catch ‘em before they hit bottom.” But Harry Reid can’t do that because by the time he gets to the reconciliation bill, the President will have already signed Obama Care into law.

          Meantime, according to John Fund, President Obama already met with 20 undecided House Democrats behind closed doors, urging them to pass the Senate bill for the “good of the country.” Presidential historian Al Felzenberg, urged them to lay aside any pettiness or political concerns and vote for the bill to make history.

            It’s a bad sign. It means the “fix” is in and once again taxpayers come up on the wrong end of the stick. <> I’m Jack Buttram. (END)
