Louisiana Senator David Vitter challenges Dem opponent on Obama, Ground Zero Mosque

Just Breaking...

Senator David Vitter of Louisiana becomes the first Republican outside of New York to raise the issue of the Ground Zero Mosque with his opponent.

From CBS News, Political Hotsheet "Ground Zero Mosque Debate Becomes a Campaign Issue":

"President Obama's support of building the mosque at Ground Zero is a slap in the face to the American people and I've demanded that President Obama reverse his position. Charlie Melancon's silence on the issue is troubling to Louisiana families," Vitter said in a statement about his Democratic challenger, Politico reports. "But, we should not be surprised. Melancon endorsed President Obama, gave him an A grade and now is eerily quiet as Obama thumbs his nose at the American people on this important issue."

Over the weekend, Republican candidate for Congress John Gomez in NY CD 1, (Long Island), released a campaign video asking "Where does [Democrat incumbent] Steve Israel stand on the Ground Zero Mosque."
