FR may have been on this before, but it's coming up again. Ping the shows!

Reading that article (I did so an hour ago) it amounts to speculation that P&O's interests will be parted out. Eller might get Miami, Maher getting NY/NJ, etc.

In short, it's just the details of one particular style of divestiture. I'm waiting to see what DPW actually proposes, because THAT may take a radically different form from the speculation in the article.

In any event, I still think Eller is a bit player who might get rights in Miami (where it hangs its hat) and not much more.

I agree, but couple that with Schumer's involvement and there might be something to change the dynamics of the questions asked on Sunday.  The press is looking for a new handle on this.  Give them a handle that trashes some Congressional pubbies and they might just run with it, without realizing where it will end up (of course, I don't know where that would end up...).

The key issue, for me, is to point out the motivations of the port deal critics. My main thust on this comes from the NY Sun editorial about the contributions from the International Longshoremen's Association union (and the mob) to the people who are leading this charge, led by Peter King.  But the (NY based MSM) press won't touch that notion with a 100 meter pole.
