Onorato welcomes running mate

Onorato welcomes running mate

More than a week after he won the Democratic nomination for governor, Dan Onorato now has a running mate. And he’s welcoming state Representative Scott Conklin with open arms.

“Scott Conklin became a state Representative because he was disgusted with the Harrisburg culture after the infamous legislative pay grab,” Onorato said in a statement Wednesday. “Just as I took on an entrenched incumbent to become County Executive, Scott earned his seat by demanding reform and winning a ‘safe’ Republican seat.”

Conklin won an upset victory over former Philadelphia City Controller Jonathan Saidel in the primary for Lieutenant Governor. The margin was close enough for a recount, but Saidel conceded Wednesday. Democrats now have a decidedly conservative ticket—at least by party standards—to go up against Republicans Tom Corbett and Jim Cawley in the fall.

“I’m excited to have Scott joining me on the Democratic ticket this fall because together we can make reform a reality in Harrisburg—just as I’ve done in Allegheny County,” Onorato said.

    wpadem…re: “A decidedly conservative ticket”.

    WPADEM:

    You’re screaming on other threads about the progressive Dems, and yawning here about “a decidedly conservative ticket.” I’m getting the impression that you are someone who just likes to complain about everything?

    We are going to make sure in Philadelphia, that us Democrats give Dan Onarato what he and other fellow Democrats from the Central and Western areas of the State truly deserve in November: A RESOUNDING DEFEAT! Paybacks, Dictator Dan – are a bitch!

    And that also is true for Carbon County, Lackawanna County,(the Cesspool of PA) and Luzerne County and the “T” section which is accurately known as our little piece of West Virginia! Years of inbreeding do harm PA…

    We are going to make sure in Philadelphia, that us hard working ,loyal Philadelphia Democrats give Dan Ona”rat”o what he and other fellow Democrats from the Central, Northern (think crime =Lackawana) and Western areas of the State truly deserve in November: A RESOUNDING DEFEAT! There will be no “family squabble line” from Democratic City Committee. Pittsburgh and the aforementioned areas of the State, truly Hate Philadelphia. Just listen to that blithering idiot Scotty Boy. It is time to show these backstabbing blowhards who we really are! Payback Time Yin’s!. DEMOCRATS FOR CORBETT

    Repubdemforcorbitt, of course the repubs will take SE Pa.’s votes just look at how voters are flocking to the GOP. OOPS looks like registration has been going the opposite direction for the past 8 years. Guess SE PA. voters are just too darn smart to vote for the GOP and their nonsense non programs.

    Forget the hired hacks and spin doctors Philadelphia will be for Corbett. It has been in the works for the past 2 years with many Dem State Reps in the fold. State Reps are useless and not needed. They divided PA into two (2) distinct factions: SE PA and the “Bastard Counties”. The idiot state Reps fell for the trap with Cocklin and to be fair, Danny Ono”RAT”o (don’t forget the Drink Tax)fell right inot it to, becuase he has Spendell’s blood lines. Like Dan’s name says -”o NO”
