Mrs. Mikulski is expected to make her formal announcement in the next few days. <\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Mikulski seriously fractured her right ankle last fall just prior to Edward M. Kennedy&#8217;s death. Due to the severity of the fracture, she had to have open reduction surgery, that included the insertion of pins, as well as the use of special surgical boots, during recovery. She had tried to arrive in time for Mr. Kennedy&#8217;s funeral but was turned away. <\/p>\n<p>Her recovery has been exceptionally slow and she is evidently still in a great deal of pain. Reportedly, she has told her physician that she does not desire to seek reelection. Additionally, friends and family have been saying in the near future she will announce her retirement. Because of the very slow recovery, she has been forced to use a wheelchair, a walker or a cane in order to get around. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Don\u2019t get me wrong; even if true it is more than likely that the idiots in Maryland will just elect another socialist; probably some dunce running on \u201cchange\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Of course Michael Steele has the name recognition to give it a run.  He would have to resign his position as head of the RNC.  Hmmm, this idea is sounding better all the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rich Vail has it from an \u201cimpeccable source\u201d that total collapse of the Democrat controlled congress &hellip; <a title=\"Not Confirmed Yet but Too Good to Ignore\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=17455\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Not Confirmed Yet but Too Good to Ignore<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":64,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17455","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17455","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/64"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=17455"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17455\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=17455"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=17455"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=17455"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
