You people are just a little bit crazy. I live a half mile from people who vote in District 7. I never realized they were so different from me? What a joke. Ed,

“just because his address is in Phoenixville doesn’t mean he lives there”

Wow. You people are just a little bit crazy. I live a half mile from people who vote in District 7. I never realized they were so different from me? What a joke.

I, like Welch, am a recent convert back to the Republican party and am excited to see young blood in the race. Far right religious fanatics like Schroder and, ehem, BUSH, are what scared me away from the party in the first place--so you can't blame anyone for dabbling in Dem.I think an entrepreneur's mindset would be a great way to help people see a new path to economic recovery. And anyone who has read anything on entrepreneurs should know that it's never about the money--it's about the passion of having a vision and seeing it through despite challenges and road blocks. Sounds good right about now, doesn't it?

He lives in Upper Providence Township, Montgomery County, just because his business is in Phoenixville, and just because his address is in Phoenixville doesn't mean he lives there, some fact checking would be nice.

From talking to him, he's held bio-tech fund raisers and a lot of money from the venture capital community.In the article in the Daily Local, Welch indicated that he is pro-life. Meehan and Welch are going to be a tandem in 6 and 7 raising money together and so on. I will guarantee you no one wants his money back.

Steve Welch lives in Phoenixville and the border to the 6th is literally a stone's throw. He's not from Pittsburgh or any other far off place...he lives just feet from the arbitrary gerry-mandered line created by the same tired culture that you seem so intent on protecting.And it is unselfish. He could have challenged Meehan and probably lost, but forced Meehan to waste money, resources and credibility fighting a divisive campaign. Welch realizes Meehan is a good guy and good for the country to have in DC, so he unselfishly decided to leave the race and run in the district where he was raised, where his kids go to school and where HE CREATES JOBS: the 6TH. You guys need to stop the whining, seriously. Hey Winston, you don’t know what you’re talking about. Steve Welch lives in Phoenixville and the border to the 6th is literally a stone’s throw.

The first fact to get straight is that Welch does NOT live in Phoenixville. He is trying to blur the distinction that he actually lives in Upper Providence Montgomery County. For those who say it doesn't matter where he lives, how far do you take that? Do you want a candidate from Pittsburgh coming out here to run? Under the Welch way, I guess that would be ok. The fact is Welch has failed a test of character when the Del Co War Board muscled him out of the 7th. IF his Ideas you all tout are so great, he should have promoted them in his HOME district, the 7th. And this line about him being "unselfish" is absolutely laughable!!! Good luck getting anyone to believe that. How much is Steve paying all of you "cut and past" bloggers who post the same tired defenses of Welch on every blog out there?
