| Former General Alexander Haig died this morning. He is no longer in charge.
Hate radio and the anti-government hysteria claimed another life this week. Another dedicated public servant was killed by the rage incited by the likes of Rush, Bill O'Reilly, Beck, Coulter, Hannity and others.
I had a wasted morning. The part to fix my car didn't come in so it didn't get repaired. Then I drove to Quakertown for a candidate's announcement. No pictures, no usable video, no press kit, not even any candidate info or head shot in a press release. A waste of time and gas.
Steve Welch has finally withdrawn as a challenger to Jim Gerlach in the 6th CD. He didn't even live in the district...
It appears some Democrats are trying to smear Joe Sestak for honestly answering a legitimate question. If the Congressman really wanted to bury the Party establishment he'd reveal all the details of the spurious offer made to him in a blatant attempt to buy him off. The scenario is standard operating procedure for politics so why wouldn't we believe it happened? It's happened too often and in too many races to not be credible.
Arlen Specter has now signed on to Sen. Bennet's letter about restoring the public option. Now how about Sen. Casey? Sen. Reid says he is giving the request serious consideration.
A new Facebook group called The Coffee Party now has over 6200 members. At least we'll be more alert than those teabaggers.
Arlen Specter continues to duck debates with Congressman Sestak. The latest is an offer to discuss the issues together on Meet the Press. The Florida Republican candidates aren't afraid to appear together and educate voters on their qualifications.
Lower Merion students appear to have been spied upon so much they spoke freely about using Post It notes to block the webcams when the green light came on. The FBI is now investigating.
There were lots of meetings and events today. Sorry I couldn't make them all.
Update: I'll do updates as information flows in from this morning's other events. The three county committee meetings I couldn't get to were all intense, important and news worthy. In Chester County Manan Trivedi received over 70% of the vote for the Democratic endorsement for the 6th Congressional District. Congratulations Manny.
In Berks County I hear Sheila Dow-Ford got a hearty welcome as she challenges Congressman Tim Holden. Congratulations Sheila. I also hear the infamous cad John Ryan tried, once again, to subvert and destroy his County Committee with all of his shenanigans. It's time for Mr. Ryan to slink away and crawl back into his hole.
I have yet to get news from Lancaster County, when I do I'll post an update. |
