Obama is heading to MO and NV today to raise money for Sec/State Robin Carnahan (D), running for an open Senate seat, and Senate Maj. Leader Harry Reid.
But Carnahan’s campaign wasn’t able to completely sell out the Folly Theater, where Obama will appear for a grassroots event on Carnahan’s behalf, at the prices they wanted. Tickets once priced at $250 are now going for $99, while $35 tickets are half off.
The grassroots event at the 1,078-seat theater is expected to net $250K for Carnahan’s campaign, the Kansas City Star reported today.

New Jersey would close its centralized car inspection lanes and motorists would pay for their own emissions tests under a sweeping set of recommendations set to be released by the Christie administration today.
State parks, psychiatric hospitals and even turnpike toll booths could also be run by private operators, according to the 57-page report on privatization obtained by The Star-Ledger. Preschool classrooms would no longer be built at public expense, state employees would pay for parking and private vendors would dish out food, deliver health care and run education programs behind prison walls.
All told, the report says, New Jersey could save at least $210 million a year by delivering an array of services through private hands.

Earlier this week, we highlighted the above clip featuring King Samir Shabazz, the New Black Panther videotaped in that clip both in front of a Philadelphia polling place on election day 2008 brandishing a night stick, and then caught by National Geographic TV literally shouting for murder into a bullhorn on Philadelphia’s South Street. Since then, several new clips have surfaced, two of which feature his brother Malik Shabazz, president of the New Black Panther Party.
Perhaps the most damning is this first one, spotted by Larry O’Connor of Big Journalism, who writes,“New Black Panther Party President Admits to Philadelphia Voter Intimidation; Holder’s Justice Department Still Silent:”
“You know we don’t carry batons…. PSYCHE! Heh heh heh… I’m just playin’” – Malik Zulu Shabazz, President of The New Black Panther Party.
