(HIGHLANDS, October 28) - Republican Congressional challenger Anna Little today maintained her campaign's focus on Frank Pallone's recent silence on his role in the passage of the government takeover of health care, frequently referred to in New Jersey's 6th Congressional District as "PalloneCare .""Back in the spring, when he thought it was going to be popular, my opponent infamously said of the government takeover of health care, 'This is not Obama 's bill. This isn't Nancy Pelosi's bill. This is MY bill,'" said Little. "But now that the public has learned more about what's in it, and it's not nearly as popular as he thought it was going to be, he's gone radio silent - why, his campaign web site's 'On the Issues' section doesn't even MENTION health care!""Sadly, this is not surprising," said Little.
