Comments on: Costello vows a positive campaign; says he won’t run against party endorsement (Updated) http://www.pa2012.com/2009/09/costello-vows-a-positive-campaign-says-he-wont-run-if-not-endorsed-by-local-parties/ Your destination for PA's Big 2012 Election Races Thu, 09 Feb 2012 00:20:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: T. Donovanhttp://www.pa2012.com/2009/09/costello-vows-a-positive-campaign-says-he-wont-run-if-not-endorsed-by-local-parties/comment-page-1/#comment-3812 T. Donovan Tue, 22 Sep 2009 20:45:48 +0000 http://www.pa2010.com/?p=4244#comment-3812 My perception is Costello spent some time working his way up the party pecking order, though not sure how high. Curt has had his differences but has been around for some time. Welch could care less could care less about the party or anything other then his newly found ambition. Seems like Costello wants to draw a distinction from the two but I dont think he has hit it hard enough yet. Nick C, better get your boy to take the gloves off, this isn't a county row office race.

If you want to win, Ryan, you better start being aggressive. Especially with Welch, who has obvious weaknesses and cuts into the ability of Ryan to win. Ridiculous statements.
