  1. So… which one of them will be sitting in their car all night in front of Art Halvorson’s house?

  2. Ray Zaborney is good news for Art Halvorson. Ray never lost an uncontested election. Even better for Art.There are two of them on Shuster’s campaign.

  3. Two ways to run: scared and unopposed.

    Shuster is definitely not going to be caught resting on his laurels.
