Video and audio from Fitzpatrick’s announcement

Click here to listen to Republican Mike Fitzpatrick’s announcement that he’ll seek a rematch against Congressman Patrick Murphy (D-8).

A brief video clip from his speech is embedded above.

The commotion you’ll hear in both clips is from a Democratic protester who came to Langhorne to challenge Fitzpatrick on the issue of health care reform.

    Not too excited about Fitzpatrick. Would prefer a new face and voice for the local GOP … but with same old, same old unimaginative local GOP leadership, what do you expect? While this will no doubt keep the local GOP leadership happy, independents (like me) won’t get excited and it probably means Murphy will win in November (though I expect it will be very close). Fitzpatrick = no crossover vote.

    Right. Let’s have someone new. Someone who doesn’t have the Bush rock around his neck.
    If the GOP leadership anoints Fitzpatrick and don’t allow an open primary with some other candidates, they should expect a third party candidate and a probable Murphy win.

    With his record, maybe Mike should run against Murphy in the Dem primary:

    Why wait ’til November? :)
