this surgery is being over-played

First, it was a heart attack. Then, it wasn't a heart attack, but he would have surgery this weekend. Now, he will have the surgery later this week. Odd, that all of this happened the day after the Convention. And, now, Teresa goes to the hospital for an upset stomach.

I do not believe that this is (primarily) the result of slick timing. I bet the convention really got to both of them!

Clinton was going to hit the campaign trail hard in October. He was supposedly going on a barnstorming tour of the country with Kerry. Now Bill sits in a hospital while Hillary stands outside seemingly without a care in the world. The operation was on, was off, was delayed by Labor Day and is now back on.

I hadn't given a whole lot of thought to this before but a quick review is interesting. Kerry is ahead in some polls by 7% after the Democratic Convention, Clintonista's move in and more or less assume key positions, a month later Bush walks out of the Republican Convention with an 11% lead (18% swing). Now Bill has heart problems and can't barnstorm with Kerry and Hillary will probably not campaign so she can be near Bill.

So the 2 most popular Democrats in the country sabotage Kerry from within and come up with an airtight alibi to sit on the sidelines until after Election Day.

The best part is that John Kerry is such a maroon he spends 90 minutes on the phone with Bill, the architect of his demise, who advises Kerry to drop the cornerstone of his campaign, Vietnam. Kerry has no other place to go with his campaign, Vietnam is the linchpin of his Fit for Command strategy.

How do you spell Bush Landslide?
