Here's a quick "Breakdown" of what's happening in the world of politics...
Elected Officials Homes Vandalized in Minnesota - The homes of both U.S. Senators, Sen. Amy Klobuchar and Norm Coleman, in addition to four U.S. Representatives John Kline, Michele Bachman, Jim Ramstad, and Keith Ellison were vandalized Tuesday night/Wednesday Morning. The vandals spray painted messages such as "Scum," "U R A Criminal," "Resign now or else."
"Sen. Coleman said the graffiti is a 'physical manifestation' of the anger and partisanship that he said is tearing apart the country"
Sgt. Jesse Garcia, the spokesperson for the Minneapolis police declared "This is a childish way for someone to express their political views." The police are still investigating.
Gov. Palin, Husband to give Desposition to Alaska Personell Board Friday - The Gov. Sarah Palin, Senator McCain's Vice Presidential Candidate, and her husband Todd Palin will be giving separate depositions before the Alaska Personnel Board this coming Friday. The deposition about the firing of Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan because Monegan would not fire State Trooper Mike Wooten from the State Police. Trooper Wooten was in the process of a messy divorce from Governor Palin's sister. An independent commission previously released a report into "Troopergate" stating that Governor Palin abused her power as Governor in pressuring Monegan, but did not break any laws.
National Republican Congressional Committee Pulling Ads from Rep. Bachman's House Race - The NRCC is pulling the media purchases made by the Committee. NRCC had recently pulled money from another safe district to funnel the money into Bachman's race against El Tinklenburg. The collapse of Bachman comes after her "Hardball" appearance after she called on major national newspapers to investigate Congressional members to "find out of they are pro-America or Anti-America," and called Democratic Presidential Candidate Barack Obama "Anti-American." In the 48-hours immediately after these remarks were made, Tinklenberg raised over $1 million for his campaign against Bachman.
