Now this is an October surprise

Ohio Rep. John Boccieri (D) had to leave from a rally with Bill Clinton because his wife went into labor.

The AP:

CANTON, Ohio -- Alliance Democrat Rep. John Boccieri got a call he had been waiting for Saturday afternoon, and all of a sudden his last-minute campaigning for re-election came to a halt. Boccieri was informed his wife, Stacey, had gone into labor. He dashed off the stage of a rally being held for himself and other Democrats and headed off to be with his wife.

His quick exit caused former President Bill Clinton -- the guest of the honor at the rally -- to exclaim: "Another Democrat!"

That one's teed up.

Where's Richard when you need him?

I'd guess that Mrs. Boccieri's middle name or hobby isn't Monica.

    Good Lord, Paul... Have you NEVER been laid??? Every time Clinton is mentioned, you need to mention Monica... Weird fixation... Envy??

    Congrats to the new parents!

      Lyn: I am rarely the culprit, this is probably the first instance, as to Clinton and Monica. bob was emploring Richard to go there, so I figured I would just beat him to the punch. Check my record at newsvine, I usually defend the position that it never happened in the Oval office.

        Sweet story. I hope mommy and baby are healthy.

        Certainly, a new baby is better than election to any office.

        Congratulations and best wishes to all.
