Shabba-do

Sounds Of Silence
Strikingly, just after Labor Day, the only House Democrats with television ads on the health care law were among the 34 who broke with the party to vote against it. Some of those incumbents have used their votes to demonstrate independence from, and even antagonism toward, the House speaker, Nancy Pelosi…(NYT, 10/27/10)

RedStateVT has yet to hear anywhere a cogent explanation by Dems as to why those who voted for Obamacare do not mention it in their re-election bids.

Heavy Money
Lost in all of the attention paid to the heavy spending by Republican-oriented independent groups in this year’s midterm elections is that Democratic candidates have generally wielded a significant head-to-head financial advantage over their Republican opponents in individual competitive races. (NYT, 10/27/10)

Hold the phone, sister! We thought it was Republicans who were winning the fund-raising battles because of all that secret, millionaire, billionaire, foreign, Chinese, big business, insurance company, oil company money. RedStateVT demands an explanation.

On Your Watch
Osama bin Laden said the kidnapping of five French nationals in Niger last month had been prompted by France's unjust treatment of Muslims, in an audio message aired on Al Jazeera television on Wednesday. (NYT, 10/27/10)

RedStateVT notes this item for one reason only: during the election in 2008 Barack Obama mercilessly attacked George Bush for “his” failure to capture bin Laden. There has been no update from the Obama administration on their efforts in this regard.
