White House Looks Again to Senator Snowe

NY Times "The White House says it hasn’t given up on getting Senator Olympia Snowe, Republican of Maine, to vote in favor of a health care overhaul. “We’re still working hard on that,’’ Robert Gibbs, President Obama’s press secretary, told reporters Tuesday at his regular daily briefing, when asked why the White House hadn’t worked harder to secure Ms. Snowe’s vote. Mr. Obama had a lengthy telephone conversation with Ms. Snowe on Friday, but Mr. Gibbs did not provide details. "

Massachusetts: Olbermann Cries Racism

Newsbusters "Amidst the innumerable excuses we're bound to hear for Martha Coakley's defeat, credit Keith Olbermann with likely the most loathsome. The Countdown host would explain away Scott Brown's victory by accusing his supporters of . . . racism." And "Law & Order" promotes this stuff? Then this: Sad Sacks at MSNBC by Jennifer Rubin .

Martin Luther King and Today

George Joyce, AT "How does one determine when a law is just or unjust? A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. To put it in the terms of St. Thomas Aquinas, an unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal and natural law. Any law that uplifts human personality is just. Any law that degrades human personality is unjust."

What to watch for in the Massachusetts special election

Washington Post "To make that process slightly more palatable, we talked to a number of senior strategists in both parties in search of the key geographic areas and demographic groups to keep an eye on as results roll in tonight in order to best understand what's happening and why. A sampling of their thoughts is [enclosed].

Black Conservatives Take Lead Role in Tea Party Movement

FoxNews h/t to Lucianne

"Lloyd Marcus' conservatism started when he was 9. His family had just moved out of the "ghetto" to a brand-new high rise in Baltimore -- within months, he said, the "dream come true" turned into a nightmare, as the building of welfare-collecting black residents became a den of crime. His father moved the family out as soon as he got a job with the city fire department, but "my cousins never escaped," Marcus said. He cried as he told the story."

White House Keeps Up War on Fox News

Newsmax "He added that the Obama administration has no intention of treating Fox News equally. "We don't feel the obligation to treat them like we would treat a CNN, or an ABC, or an NBC, or a traditional news organization, but there are times when we believe it makes sense to communicate with them," [White House communications director] Pfeiffer told the Times. Pfeiffer confirmed that the confrontational approach favored by Dunn, who labeled Fox News a "wing of the Republican Party," will continue." If only Fox had the fairness of MSNBC. Speaking of: Olbermann's rant against Brown.

Much more than the fate of the two political parties is on the line this November.

Thomas Sowell, NRO "It would take a leader with extraordinary courage, pride in America, and dedication to the values, the traditions, and the people of America to stand up to enemies who could annihilate Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York with nuclear weapons. Does this sound anything like the president who has gone around the world apologizing for this country and literally bowing to foreign leaders? The stakes in this fall’s elections go far beyond the fate of either the Republican party or the Democratic party. The fate of America is on the line. The Republicans need to understand that — and to understand that they are not simply “due” after 2006 and 2008."

Liberalism Is Dead

James Lewis, AT "There's always been a huge amount of totalitarianism on the Left, all the way from Karl Marx onward. On the real Left the lust for power always wins out over sucker slogans like democracy and peace, because the real Left isn't against the Ruling Class; it just wants to be the new Ruling Class. Obama is the perfect example. When Lenin took over in Moscow it was the Russian liberals who got a single bullet in the head."

When Terrorists Have a Falling Out

American Thinker "So let's hope that there are undercover agents working on today's university campuses, where radicals woo disaffected young men to become the next Christmas Day Bomber. Millions of people in the Arab world may go on blaming the West for all their troubles, perhaps for generations to come, but the jihadists' threat may be countered and defeated in time, as long as there is a will to do so."

Disgusting… Phony Pro-Lifers Are Making Anti-Scott Brown Calls in Massachusetts

Gateway Pundit "Pro-lifers are receiving phone calls from people claiming to be Mass Citizens. The callers say that Mass Citizens is not supporting Scott Brown because of his position on health care!The truth is that Mass Citizens is suporting Brown because of his position on health care! These deceitful calls are coming from 202-461-3441, a Washington, DC number. The phone company says this is a company called SOOH. Pro-lifers are not the only victims of this scam. Our MCFL sleuths have found that this same number is calling people across the state claiming to be different groups with different messages – all anti-Brown!"

Slowing Brown Down (If He Wins)

Pajamas Media "While Massachusetts Democrats could try to delay seating Brown if he wins the special election, it would seem that such a delaying tactic would only work if interim Senator Paul Kirk was still able to vote in the Senate until the election was formally certified. If Republican lawyers are correct, however, then Kirk’s standing as a senator is immediately revoked after the election, even while the outcome is unknown."

Dem Mayor of Quincy, MA endorses Scott Brown

Clarice Feldman, AT "Martha Coakley has repeatedly stated she would cast the critical 60th vote for the current health care proposal that would slash Medicare funding by nearly half-a-trillion dollars and dramatically impact the care so many seniors rely upon in their final years. As our United States Senator, I am confident Scott Brown will only support legislation that will benefit his constituents, and this is why I will be voting for him on Tuesday."

ALL EYES ON MASSACHUSETTS ... AN HISTORIC DAY IN THE WORKS?

Neal Boortz "Has the future of ObamaCare come down to a Massachusetts Senate race? Looks that way ... but the Democrats will certainly look for another angle. But that's where we are at and today is voting day. So .. which way do you think things are going to go in Massachusetts today? Will the Democrats turn out the voters and eke out a win for Coakley; or will the Scott Brown surge carry through to the ballot boxes? And ... if Brown wins, how will the Democrats spin this? We'll have fun with this one tomorrow."

The Beginning of the End of Obamaism?

Jennifer Rubin "We know that Obama, Pelosi, and Reid have been willing to sacrifice many in their ranks for the sake of the decades-old liberal dream of government-run health care. I don’t think that’s going to change. But what will, I suspect, is the willingness of their House and Senate colleagues to listen to political hokum (”The voters will learn to love it!”) and unsubstantiated spin (”Doing nothing is worse than passing a bill 60 percent of voters oppose”). " If Coakley wins, articles such as this will look pretty naive.

Remember the truck!

"There's something about that truck. How many times did Obama mention it in his speech at Coakley's rally in Boston at Northeastern on Sunday? I think the over/under is 15. With that truck Brown got inside Obama's head like a trash talking football stud running down his opponent's mama to throw him off his game. "He's driving his truck around the commonwealth and he says that he gets you," Obama said of Brown at the rally. "Everybody can run slick games," he added. "Forget the truck. Anybody can buy a truck." " Um, I believe Mr. Brown's response was-basically-not in this economy.

Secret Bill-Writing on the Rise in Washington

CNS News "...House and Senate produce a final bill by sitting around a table where the public can watch them work out their differences. It's a quaint idea, but a different modern reality has been on display this month. Democrats are refusing to open to the public the end-stage negotiations on how the government is going to change the delivery of health care. And it's not just on the high-profile health care bill; the trend on much legislation is to shut the door and keep the minority party, cable TV and other media on the outside."
