PA-12: Is Democrat Mark Critz Pennsylvania’s Martha Coakley?

Not just his general lack of charisma, undynamic personality and lackluster campaign skills, but also the sleaze factor: The ad quotes former Pennyslvania state treasurer Barbara Hafer, a Democrat who opposed Critz’s nomination and in March said of the former Murtha aide: “This is a flawed candidate that has a lot of ethical problems, and […]

PA-12: Another Amazing Coincidence!

Liz Carter Comes to Washington, D.C.

What an amazing coincidence that I just happened to run into the Georgia 4th District congressional candidate: The Democratic incumbent, Hank Johnson, is notorious for having said that overpopulation could cause the island of Guam to tip over and capsize. He’s also been ineffective in representing the suburban Atlanta district. Liz Carter was endorsed last […]

GA-9: Special Election Today!

Jumping in Pools reminds us of news down home: Georgia’s 9th congressional district is holding their special election to replace Congressman Nathan Deal this afternoon.

PA-12 Update: Tim Burns Has the Edge

The big headline out of Pennsylvania today is the poll showing Joe Sestak pulling ahead of Arlen Specter in the Democratic Senate primary, but the May 18 special election in John Murtha’s 12th District is highlighted at Townhall by NRCC Political Director Brian Walsh: We’ve seen a great deal of polling information since this race […]
