Col. West leads Klein in FL-22
Republican Allen West narrowly leads U.S. Rep. Ron Klein in a bruising battle for South Florida's 22nd Congressional District, a new Sunshine State News Poll shows.

West leads Klein 47-44 in the survey of likely voters conducted Oct. 17-19. Nine percent of respondents are undecided.

West, a retired Army lieutenant colonel, lost by 10 points to Klein in 2008, a strong year for Democrats. But with Republicans surging this fall, West is picking up more independents, along with solid tea party support.

"West has to be the slight favorite here simply because of the turnout differential," said Jim Lee, president of Voter Survey Service, which conducted the poll for Sunshine State News.

Lee reported that West’s 3-point lead grows to 5 points among respondents who say their chances of voting are "excellent" (49-44) and 4 points among “2x” voters, or those who cast ballots in both the ’08 and ’06 general elections (48-44).

#3  Go Col. West!

#4  Boy do we need more like Col. West. This race alone could brighten my post-election outlook considerably.

Gen. Hugh Shelton sez Clinton's nuke codes went missing for months.

#1  They probably ended up in China....what do ya think?
Posted by: armyguy || 10/21/2010 11:44 Comments || Top||

#2  Think so, after all they were bought and paid for.
Posted by: Black Charlie Chinemble5313 || 10/21/2010 12:03 Comments || Top||

#3  He lost them in his other blue dress.
Posted by: DarthVader || 10/21/2010 12:13 Comments || Top||

#4  So implant the codes sub-dermally in a Prez or tattoo them on the guys.
Posted by: Water Modem || 10/21/2010 12:19 Comments || Top||

#5  Anytime codes are compromised, the existing set is voided and a new set is issued immediately. Had this been anyone in uniform, it would have been an immediate career terminator. Zero tolerance and no sense of humor when dealing with nukes.

#6  Months?

I call bullshit. 24 hours, tops.
Posted by: mojo || 10/21/2010 13:04 Comments || Top||

#7  I'm guessing what Shelton meant was that the found the key package after about 6 months? I'm sure someone noted the absence of the codes much sooner than 6 months. Don't know the crypto cycle but bet it isn't 6 months.

#8  He probably left them at McDonald's.

#9  Maybe the night he got so drunk with Norman he fell down the stairs?

SEIU pays $250,000 for attack ad
The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) launched a new television ad Thursday blasting Nevada Republican Sharron Angle. SEIU has invested significant resources in protecting Reid this election. They have mobilized their union members in support of top Senate Democrat and have made a $500,000 contribution to the Patriot Majority Fund, a 527 group that is doing field and media work in Nevada.
Hope and Change!

DOJ goes after tea partiers, leaves club-wielding Black Panthers alone

#1  The dhimocrats know where their power base is and they will go after anyone that threatens it. And boy are they in panic mode now.
Posted by: DarthVader || 10/21/2010 9:52 Comments || Top||

#2  I for one appreciate the DoJ getting stupid. It angers the masses enough to make them want to actually get off their butts and vote.
Posted by: gorb || 10/21/2010 10:09 Comments || Top||

#3  Everyone always says "never again", but this is exactly the thing they claim they will never stand for. So apparently it's OK when fascists only go after Jews or the Tea Party.
Posted by: Iblis || 10/21/2010 10:45 Comments || Top||

#4  The DOJ is a joke anymore. Nothing but politically driven Scumbags. They should be in prison.
Posted by: newc || 10/21/2010 11:27 Comments || Top||

#5  Hence this, lblis:

Liberalism
Posted by: DarthVader || 10/21/2010 11:28 Comments || Top||

#6  Eliot Spitzer for AG!
Posted by: Anguper Hupomosing9418 || 10/21/2010 12:35 Comments || Top||

#7  Very misleading headline. Look, this is SOP. The DOJ is required to investigate even marginally credible accusations of voter intimidation. (Just as they did with the Panther case.) Now, how aggressively they pursue any charges is a completely different matter.
Posted by: DepotGuy || 10/21/2010 12:50 Comments || Top||

#8  In other wording, Tea Party now officially considered a political movement by the gov.
Posted by: swksvolFF || 10/21/2010 17:52 Comments || Top||

#9  #7 Thank you for a balanced response.

"Now, how aggressively they pursue any charges is a completely different matter".
Ditto

#2  Wouldn't that be awesome if she did?

Dont think she will but one can hope

#3  Oh man I wanted her to come to Sacramento after she marries Kevin Johnson, establish residency, and then run against DiFi in 2012. My dream of having two 'R' Senators will have to wait.
Posted by: Cyber Sarge || 10/21/2010 17:38 Comments || Top||

#4  Her marrying Kevin Johnson is a strike against her. Just ask fired Inspector General Gerald Walpin. Also, look at Kevin Johnson's Wikipedia article.
