No Runny Eggs

The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

Fox’s turn with the Pubbies – Live Thread

by @ 18:25. Filed under Politics - National.

Note: this will be at the top of the blog through 10 pm; fresher stuff (if any) will be below):

Yes, it’s a bit early, but I need solace after an extra-chunky NFL weekend (0-3 straight-up, 0-3 ATS, 2-1 O/U so far and another set of losses setting up late in the first half of the last game). Guess CoverItLive got a bit too crowded last night. No matter; I’ll be back at it here at 6:45 Central, along with most of the Pubbies (Ron Paul will finally be shown the door, so the threat of a-, s-, d-, f- and h-bombs is significantly-reduced). The usual rules apply, namely I paraphrase heavily, questions are in italics, answers are in normal text, my own comments that are in-line with questions or answers are in parentheses, and because it’s Fox, if you see “DING! DING!” and it’s not in parentheses, it’s not me agreeing, it’s the bell ringing.

Joining in the live coverage (I’ll try to remember to add to this):
– Mike (Mike’s America/Flopping Aces – both links given because Flopping Aces “may” be down for part of this)
Justin Higgins at Right On The Right
Hot Air
Michelle Malkin (without the Red Bull this time)
Free Republic

Revisions/extensions (8:58 pm 1/6/2008) – First, thank you, everybody, for making this a fun and busy live-blog. I had hoped to get to Mike’s, but much like his, things got real busy. Thank you, Stephen, for sending over the usual VodkaPundit crew.

As for who won and lost, I may go back through the tapes tomorrow. I need some sleep right now; I’m in the middle of a nice little chest cold that laid me flat most of the day.

R&E part 2 (10:00 pm 1/6/2008) – Fortunately, the debate got done before CoverItLive went down. Once it comes back up, that blank in the middle of the post will have the wrap.

Feed housekeeping – VodkaPundit

For those of you who use VodkaPundit’s feed to read Stephen Green, you’re probably wondering where he is. No, he hasn’t dropped off the face of the earth; he just switched from Movable Type to WordPress. That has made the old feed address unusable, so make a note of the new one – http://vodkapundit.com/?feed=rss2.

Manufactured “support”

by @ 17:37. Filed under Politics - National.

(H/T – JammieWearingFool, who is having a better NFL weekend than I am; then again, who isn’t?)

How desperate is Hillary Clinton to demonstrate that her campaign isn’t Dead (Wo)man Walking? Desperate enough to bus in people from Massachusetts, says the Washington Times:

Reporters who walked into this Nashua high school today were immediately struck by the crowd "” there are visibly more people here for Sen. Hillary Clinton than were here for Sen. Barack Obama yesterday in the same location.

The Clinton crowd was loud and boisterous and their foot-stomping was thunderous.

Many of them were also from Massachusetts.

Clinton gave a few minute speech about how she sees the race for 2008 shaping up, then started taking questions. As she did, I noticed dozens of people start streaming out via the back doors.

Of the 7 people I interviewed, three said they had taken advantage of the short drive to come see both Clinton and Obama in the area in advance of the Feb. 5 Massachusetts primary.

But the others said they were Clinton volunteers who came up to canvass on her behalf this weekend.

Serap Sankoh, a biostatistician from Acton, Mass., said she had been actively recruited to attend and wave signs wildly by the Clinton campaign. “I got the telephone calls not last night but the night before and I’m a die-hard supporter, so I made the drive,” she said.

Another reporter noticed a charter bus parked outside "” and it wasn’t part of our traveling motorcade.

Roll bloat – He’s just that good edition

I know I should’ve done this long before now because I liked Mike’s stuff he put up at Flopping Aces, but stupid me was too lazy to click through to his own blog, Mike’s America. Don’t be like I was.
