Obama office burglarized (a blast from the past)

Yet another potential Watergate happened back in July.

In Davenport, Iowa, the local field office for Barack Obama's presidential campaign was burglarized. Two laptop computers and some campaign literature were stolen. Hardly a peep was heard in the media outside of Davenport.

I guess this is the type of shenanigans we're going to see more of from the GOP over the next year, and it's not even the only time this year that a Democratic campaign office was burglarized and plundered. I'm just selecting one such incident at random.

I wonder if this is anything like the time a few years ago when someone broke into the congressional Democrats' office and stole a computer containing important data about health care? You know, the little incident that was swept under the rug almost as quickly as it happened. Weird how there was no more action on that. Or maybe not so weird, considering that the then-Republican Congress controlled the purse strings for D.C. and any agency that might have had to investigate the break-in.
