Republicans Target Barack Obama’s Former US Senate Seat in Illinois … Going for the Senate Triple Crown
The Senate Triple Crown … Massachusetts, Delaware and Illinois.
It’s Primary Day in Illinois and Republicans looks to gain on the momentum that they have garnered previously in Virginia, New Jersey and Massachusetts. However, are Republicans ready to do what most would have thought impossible?
Imagine in 2010 if Republicans won all three Senate seats formerly held by the late Edward Kennedy, Vice President Joe Biden and President Barack Hussein Obama.
In 2010 can Republicans pull off the Trifecta of with regards to US Senate elections?
Jewel number One … The fact is that they have already accomplished the first part by doing the impossible when Republication Scott Brown won the special Senate election in Massachusetts and taking over “the People’s” seat formerly held by the late Ted Kennedy. The almost implausible victory by Brown has sent tremors through the Democrat Party and optimism among Republican challengers.
The second jewel in the Triple Crown is the US Senate seat for Delaware formally held by Vice President Joseph Biden. The race looked to be a close one with Republican Mike Castle holding a small lead over the Biden in waiting Beau Biden when the unthinkable occurred to the Dems. Beau Biden dropped out of the DE Senate race and all but handed the Senate seat to Republicans and Mike Castle. The most recent Rasmussen poll had Castle leading Democrat candidate Chris Coons 56% to 27%. As soon as Beau Biden dropped out, The Cook Political Report classified the DE-Senate race a “Solid Republican” win.

US Attorney Jim Letten Recused Himself in the James O’Keefe/Sen Landrieu Phone Tampering Case
A Crime or just Investigative Journalism, you make the call …
Andrew Breitbart on Fox News, James O’Keefe of the famed ACORN “Pimps & Prostitutes videos, who is presently accused of trying to tamper with the phones of Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu, was “framed” by the media and the U.S. attorney’s office. Interestingly enough the top prosecutor, Jim Letten, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Louisiana, has recused himself from the case.
The top federal prosecutor for New Orleans has removed himself from the case of four conservative activists arrested last week while allegedly trying to capture hidden camera footage in a senator’s office, the Department of Justice said Monday.
A Justice Department news release said Jim Letten, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Louisiana, recused himself from the case a day after the Jan. 25 arrests in Democrat Sen. Mary Landrieu’s office in New Orleans. Letten’s top lieutenant, assistant U.S. Attorney Jan Mann, has taken over.
US Attorney Jim Letten gave no reason for him removing himself from the case.
However, as reported at Big Government.com, on the very day that film maker James O’Keefe sat in jail for 28 hours without counsel.
