I and many others today gently ribbed the Romney folks for putting Romeny in front of a trauma center named for Rudy for his anti-HillaryCare spiel. Well the hospital itself is fairly annoyed and doesn't like being used as a prop. The "A" Romney advance people must all be permanently assigned to Iowa and New Hampshire.

UPDATE: By the way, some have wondered why the Trauma Center is named after Rudy. According to this (subscription required for entire story) his wife Judith was the executive director of a $100M capital campaign and Rudy waived speaking fees at various events to help raise $25M. The hospital apparently expressed to the Mayor following 9-11 that that they needed a new emergency center. Nice story, which no one would have known about without an assist from the Romney team.
