Abreviated Regional Politics
Oct 16th, 2009 by David Anderson
New Jersey has a debate coming up that you can see live at 1930 pm by following the link. You can also submit a question. This week’s Lt. Gov. debate was viewed by more than the governor’s debate.

Pennsylvania Rendell has a majority disapproving of him according to Rasmussen and Toomey leads in the Senate race. The house and senate have competing table game bills.
In New York Democrats avoid losing the senate seat and risking their majority as Democrat Senator Hiram Monserrate was convicted of only a misdemeanor for slashing the face of his girl friend.

The New York State Republican Party is now so hollow and moribund it is running a fraudulent candidate for Congress WITH the Working Families Party which is the political arm of ACORN. Please read this then make a contribution to the conservative in the race: Doug Hoffman. There will be a special election on Nov 3 to fill a vacancy in the ONLY truly conservative Republican district in New York State. The outgoing Republican got 60% last year! The putrid NYS GOP establishment led by Ed Cox, a rino’s rino, is backing the worst possible candidate to hold this seat:…
Mollohan Scandal Property Goes to Foreclosure
NLPC ^ | October 20, 2009 | Peter Flaherty
Last week, media reports indicated that a vacant lot on Bald Head Island, North Carolina co-owned by Rep. Alan Mollohan (D-WV) and his former aide Laura Kuhns, and their spouses, is going to a foreclosure auction.
The lot was one of five properties co-owned by the Mollohans and Kuhnses that have been part of a controversy that prompted an on-going Justice Department investigation, and Mollohan’s resignation as Ranking Member on the House Ethics Committee in 2006.
Kuhns is President and CEO of Vandalia Heritage Foundation, one of five nonprofits to which Mollohan has earmarked well over $100 million.
