It's official: it's not going to be JE, but Hilda Solis.

On the one hand, I :cry: because our guy hasn't worked out his kinks yet.
On the other hand, I'm SO glad that Obama picked another real friend to workers. Her pro-labor record is very impressive.

I heard NOTHING about our guy for weeks now. Absolutely nothing. Not even about Elizabeth.
I hope they have a wonderful Christmas, and that they find their way back to the fight, as soon as possible.

1. Solis is a good choice

My sense is that JRE and Bonior probably gave advice to support her as the nominee.

JRE and EE are in rebuilding mode.

That rat Rielle Hunter is back living with one of her girlfriends in NJ. She claims she's out of cash. I have little sympathy who received $15,000 a month from a JRE friend for a long time and cannot manage her expenses.

I talked with someone from Iowa this evening, who was at a function for Chet Culver. First Lady Marie Culver said she saw JRE and EE at Fred Baron's funeral. I was glad to hear that because it was reported JRE attended Baron's funeral alone, which means the report was wrong. But I also heard JRE was terribly thin. I saw pics of him in November, and he did look thinner, had grown his hair out a little, but I didn't think he looked bad.

Pray for JRE and EE.

2. Thanks for the news -

It's good to know that they were together - I am so over all the media attention this has gotten. There are more important things to discuss, like getting this country back on track. I would hope that perhaps Obama may look to JRE for support, if not official.
