Meehan got 9 thousand more votes then Lentz did when the home town congressman (Sestak) and state senator (Anthony Williams) were competing in competitive statewide primaries. Lentz will be crushed in the fall.
If people in the SE want to help Tim Burns, Pat Meehan's office is hosting a phone bank tonight, next Wendnesday and the Saturday and Sunday before the special election. I know tonight it is from 7-9 in their office in Drexel Hill.
This is the same PAC that chris helped expose in the begining of march for taking most of Russells fundraising money in Direct Mail fees.
Until Meehan and Canuso are thrown out of the Philly GOP, any Republican candidate running statewide will have a very tough time winning. Also a viable Philadelphia Republican party is critical for congressional, state senate and state house races across the country. With the one party dominance in Philadelphia, the Dem candidates there can raise money for their "own" reelection, but since many have no viable challengers (if a challenger at all) they bundle their money to Democratic candidates elsewhere in the state.
Sadly all Meehan and Canuso are interested in is keeping their feifdom of patronage and legal fees, these allegations if investigated will hopefully lead to a regime change.
While should surprise none, it is unfortunately a problem that affects both sides of the aisle
Someone has obviously never been to any event Pat was at because he has been all over the district.
I believe Nick was trying to bring up Corbett because Skip has been giving him behind the scenes support and this was viewed as a repudiation of the power people like Skip and Asher have. However Meehan is anything but an outsider as several people have mentioned above. Again that is the problem with this contest, 2 bad choices mean we are stuck with a bad result.
Corbett in every poll continues to have favorable ratings but there is a disconnect in his primary poll numbers, very interesting.
Mike Meehan is an utter joke, his family has destroyed the Republican party in Philadelphia and now he leading the SouthEast? While Skip may not be a good alternative, was there no one else?
You hit the nail on the head perfectly, this has nothing to do with the proliferation of guns, this law has nothing to do with stopping the theft of guns, just the reporting that they were stolen, the people on this council obviously never took a logic course. Cheap publicity stunt that is becoming far too common across the commonwealth.
