Biden Blows Greg Orman's Cover: He 'Will Be With Us'
The Weekly Standard "Vice President Joe Biden blew Kansas independent Greg Orman's cover in a radio interview today. Orman hasn't stated which party he'll caucus with in the Senate--actively avoiding announcing whether he'll be with Republicans or Democrats--but Biden stated definitively that Orman "will be with us" if he's elected."
... "Orman has stated that he'll caucus with whichever party holds the balance of power in Kansas, but Republicans have long suspected he's likely to join the Democrats' side. Biden seemed to confirm that belief in this interview." ...
The Great Midterm Foreign Policy Comeback
PJ Media "Scott Brown did an unusual thing for a midterm congressional candidate in his quest to unseat Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), something more characteristic of senators feeling out support for a presidential run: On Sept. 24, before the New Hampshire Institute of Politics in Manchester, Brown delivered a major foreign policy address."
...
"Brown has had plenty of current events fodder to satisfy his strategy of making this state race national, including ISIS, Ebola, Ukraine, the Middle East and terrorism in North Africa.
“ '[Shaheen] has insisted that the group, Boko Haram, operating in and around Nigeria, is not really an Islamic terrorist group. But let’s not be confused on this: These are the jihadist killers who kidnapped over 200 girls last spring,” Brown said. “They’ve been at it a while, and back in 2012 I introduced a bill instructing then Secretary of State Clinton to designate Boko Haram as the terrorist organization that it is. The bill went to Senator Shaheen’s committee, the Foreign Relations Committee – where, once again, they did exactly nothing.' ”

Eric Holder Deploys Poll-Watchers to Look for “Discrimination” ... "So does that mean that New Black Panthers won’t be standing outside polling places with billy clubs this year? Just kidding. And, of course, Eric Holder has never done anything in a “fair and nonpartisan manner” in his six years as Attorney General.
"But, seriously, what does it mean? Have you ever seen anything at a polling place that remotely amounted to intimidation, discrimination or obstruction? I haven’t. Presumably this is all part of the Democrats’ effort to keep alive the myth of voter suppression. That pretense seems to be a key element in their strategy to keep African-American voters in the fold, notwithstanding that the Democrats’ policies are devastating to black voters’ interests. And I guess it must work." ...

Alan Caruba: Why Vote?
Warning Signs
"Every election is “the most important” for the simple reason that it has the potential of making our lives better or worse.
"What makes elections scary is that votes are cast by people who often have paid little attention to the events, issues, policies or the candidates involved. Casting a vote requires knowing something about the times in which one lives and the persons promising to make them better." ...Full Article
SNL Sketch Skewers Unwavering Black Support for Obama
The American Culture "The most recent episode of NBC’s Saturday Night Live included an extraordinarily pithy and somewhat bold sketch about support for President Obama among black Americans. The sketch depicts a talk show called “How’s He Doing?” The “he” in the imaginary show’s title is President Obama, and the premise of the sketch is how he’s doing is very, very badly as president but still enjoying unwavering approval among blacks. Host Kenan Thompson opens the putative PBS show by describing it as “the show where the black voter takes a frank, honest look at President Obama and ask, ‘How’s he doing?’” In …continue reading"

Barack Obama Brings Out A Tiny Crowd In Philly
Independent Sentinel
"Philly is the city where President Obama received 100% of the vote in 59 districts in 2012. How things have changed! The Greek columns are gone and the black curtain has fallen.
"Mr. Obama campaigned in Philadelphia on Sunday but couldn’t fill a college basketball arena of rather modest size. It was half empty so they covered the empty seats with a black curtain.
"Check out the black curtain:"

Wasserman-Schultz, DNC hire army of lawyers to challenge election results
Examiner.com
"The Democratic National Committee (DNC), led by its hard hitting and verbose chairwoman, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, has hundreds of attorneys on retainer in order to fight the results of Tuesday's elections if things don't go their way, according a number of news stories on Sunday.
"Voter identification laws appear to be the primary point of contention, with Republicans supporting the law and the Democrats opposing them. The DNC continues to use its "get out the vote" tactics while making allegations that the GOP is trying to "disenfranchise" minority voters, some of whom were proven to have been bused in from other districts or even states.
" 'These verbal tactics are beginning to become shopworn and bring to mind the words attributed to the father of Communism, Karl Marx: 'Accuse other of what you do.' If anything, it's the Republican National Committee officials who should hire a million lawyers and private detectives to launch investigations into alleged voting irregularities," said former police detective and corporate fraud investigator.
