&quot;Toomey really wont allow any of these candidates to outflank him on women’s issues&quot;Umm... Toomey has practically a zero rating on women&#039;s issues.I&#039;ve determined that you must come from the cubed-shaped planet of Htrae, which is the home base of Bizarro Superman.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mancini-<br

isPermaLink="false">http://www.pa2010.com/?p=6284#comment-11936</guid> <description>The democratic ticket will be as follows: Critz, Shestak, VodVraka, and Crinic.But I have some inside sources that tell me that the tea party grass roots will only support two of the candidates.  So the question is, will Hafer break the impossible insider status of Crits, and his commanding presence sufficiently to be the new darling of the moderate wing of the democratic party?There are a number of ways that the insiders predict that this can happen.  And I have worked on many democratic campaigns from McGovern through Clinton, and I am confident that my sources will be correct.First, VoVraka is a strange blend of populism, socialism, and old-fashioned paleo-conservatism.  These things fly very well with the tea party crowd.Secondly, Specters anti-abortion hard line conservative reputation will be hard to overcome in central and southern PA where the voters tend to be fairly liberal.Also, Toomey really wont allow any of these candidates to outflank him on women&#039;s issues, because he has that support tied up in a lock-box.So ultimately we will wind up with a Specter, Onoratio, Hafer (and maybe VoVraka) ticket.Unless he runs as an independent.No one can argue with the logic.  I seen a few try....and fail.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The democratic ticket will be as follows: Critz, Shestak, VodVraka, and Crinic.</p><p>But I have some inside sources that tell me that the tea party grass roots will only support two of the candidates.

The Hafer campaign blew it.  Totally stupid thing for them to have done, the sort of ugly politics we should be moving past.  Know what I haven&#039;t heard Barbara Hafer talk about?  Why she should be elected, only why Critz shouldn&#039;t be.  Another genius move by Josh Morrow.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t understand&#8230;wasn&#8217;t the process set up before Critz announced?

isPermaLink="false">http://www.pa2010.com/?p=6284#comment-11910</guid> <description>Critz has a clean record.  There is no &quot;tax&quot; situation.  It wasn&#039;t his company, he was not an officer, he had no liability or fiduciary responsibility.  Critz stepped in after the fact to help right the situation, just as any good ethical american would do.When&#039;s the last time Josh Morrow won a major election for one of his candidates?  This guy is simply sling mud that shouldn&#039;t be slung.  Mark Critz has a clean record.  The only allegations against Critz are coming from Hafer&#039;s campaign.I feel bad for Ms. Hafer, as she has made bad decision after bad decision.  She first announces her intent to run, and says &quot;if Mrs. Murtha runs I will drop out&quot;.  The next thing you know Hafer is bashing Mrs. Murtha&#039;s husband, our late Congressman.  What kind of person does that?The american people are sick and tired or dirty politics Ms. Hafer... Mr. Morrow!!  You of all people Mr. Morrow should know it doesn&#039;t work, especially when its not true!!  The ignorance of the Hafer campaign amazes me.BOTTOM LINE... Critz has a clean record.  He as never done any wrong. Hafer is too old and her campaign has to result to spreading lies and defaming our late Congressman.  I wonder if she would have said all of this to Jack&#039;s face when he was alive??</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Critz has a clean record.  There is no &#8220;tax&#8221; situation.

The problem is there is no new outsider, a fresh face that wants to LEAD with new ideas and no ties to the past or to the party to consider.  The best solution, abolish the district entirely and wait until the 2010 census is completed.  The district was so gerrymandered anyway.  What&#039;s the difference?</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Neither candidate deserves the nomination.
