between two strategic masterminds

Ex-Governor Palin and Apprentice-master Trump met for lunch yesterday at a midtown pizza chain. The New York Daily News probably had the best quote on the tête à tête These two have to be making the Republicans crazy. All we can say is: Keep it up Donald and Sarah!

"We do like each other and I will tell you more than anything else, she loves this country," Trump told Fox News.

He also told them, apropos running for President, "If I'm not happy with what I see, I could very easily change my mind. ... I'm not happy with what I see," Trump said. "In 11 months, I'm totally free to do whatever I want to do."

ABC News quoted Trump on the Ex-Governor, "I’ll tell you she's a great woman, a terrific woman, and a great friend," and finally, he said, "I'd love her to run."

Palin praised Trump's "independence" and "willingness to speak his mind." She told reporters the two are "on the same page" when it comes to GOP candidates and issues.

Six years ago today on All This Is That, we saluted Mark Felt, hero

It was about six years ago today that Mark Felt finally came out of the closet and admitted publicly that he was Deep Throat. His work with Woodward and Bernstein and a lot of other strangely converging forces were responsible for driving Richard Nixon from office in 1974.

The Republican-Tea Party Catapults Rudy Giuliani into first place

By Pablo Fanque
All This Is That National Affairs Editor

This is a mind-f***er of all mind-f***ers! In the jangled, early scramble for the GOP Presidential nomination, seemingly out of nowhere, Rudy Giuliani has suddenly--and barely--become the front runner! He's hardly even said he was thinking of running. But somehow the withdrawals of Huckabee, Crist, and Trump, not to mention the near total collapse of the Newt Gingrich "campaign" have catapulted Crazy Rudy to the top of the rockpile. Who knows what next week's polls will show, now that Sarah Palin's actions indicate she is about to leap in?

But Rudy? Have the Republican-Tea Party voters forgotten how quickly his candidacy self-immolated last time around?

The results of the current CNN poll (Gingrich didn't even clear 10% this time):

Giuliani 16%
Romney 15%
Palin 13%
Paul 10%

The poll has a 4.5% margin of error...in short, these "front-runners" are all basically in a dead-heat for first place.
