Nice try though. I am going off of public info. I love how people line up behind someone who has put $500,000 of their own money into a campaign. Since when has it been "To the highest bidder" for Congressional seats? It's sad that it comes down to money and not substance. As long as he has good fundraising, he'll be in it. And yes BerksWoman is correct, the party is on the wrong side of this one too.GO MANAN! I do not work for Manan’s campaign. Nice try though. I am going off of public info.

GO MANAN!

I suspect you will see alot of Pike's endorsements dropping off now that we have a serious reformer on the ballot. As for some of the party insiders who are in Pike's camp, they were also on the wrong side in the 2008 Presidential primary. That should indicate just how savvy those folks are when it comes to Democratic primaries. Pike was able to get endorsements early, before Manan was able to announce his candidacy.

Fred Sheeler apparently called Pike and asked to have his name removed as an endorser. His name no longer appears on Pike's endorser page. That is not something you want to have happen this early.

To get major endorsements, you have to have a chance to win. If you don’t – like Trivedi – then you won’t get major endorsements.

I don't know Manan but from looking at his resume it wouldn't be hard to imagine him getting Chester and Berks County endorsements. Montco I think would be more difficult but not impossible. Money is #1 but having the grassroots committee people on your side helps, particularly in a primary.

Casey, so maybe that's something.Also, usually the Dem. candidate is from MontCo, so maybe a Reading person would get more support from the Berks County part of the district.Does anyone have numbers on the population breakdown in the 6th (how many voters in MontCo, Chester, Berks, Lehigh)?

Sorry to disappoint you but maybe you should check your facts before slinging mud. This type of anonymous, demonstrably false, attack is typical of campaign staffers and candidates who are frustrated by their inability get what they want.

The strategy of “if I whine loud enough, someone will save me” simply does not work.

Pike seems to be: running a much more professional campaign than Trivedi, working the district harder and longer — leveraging his 22 years of strong working relationships in the region — and raising more money.

I really don’t think Trivedi has a chance.

Again, sorry to disappoint you.

Just watching the right sitting there with their smug grins and non-bipartisanship spirit to get the job done on healthcare. I'd take the advice on healthcare from a doctor who's on the frontlines over a COB that meets once a week to discuss parking issues for nurses.
