  1. I’ve recently started a web site, the info you offer on this site has helped me greatly. Thank you for all of your time & work. “One of the greatest pains to human nature is the pain of a new idea.” by Walter Bagehot.

  2. It is just so hard for me to hear some union members choose an anti-labor candidate over a candidate who has championed our labor rights for years. Please do more candidate research before the General Election!

  3. I wish to express my appreciation to the writer just for rescuing me from this type of crisis. After surfing around through the the net and obtaining notions which were not helpful, I thought my life was gone. Existing devoid of the answers to the difficulties you’ve resolved by way of your main short post is a critical case, as well as the ones which might have in a wrong way affected my entire career if I hadn’t come across your site. The mastery and kindness in playing with the whole thing was crucial. I’m not sure what I would’ve done if I hadn’t discovered such a subject like this. I’m able to at this moment look ahead to my future. Thanks very much for your specialized and amazing guide. I will not think twice to refer the blog to any individual who ought to have recommendations about this topic.

  4. Speaking of endorsements, I wonder when/if PoliticsPA will announce Phila Inquirer endorsed Joe Sestak??

  5. Who are the delegates for Pennsylvania bound to? I know who the delegates are but I just don’t know who they’re bound to how do I find this information out it’s very critical to know this information before I decide which delegates I will be voting for can you help me?

  6. DelcoDemWoman-

    I obviously meant for races where there was a primary challenge and no incumbent. So, there is just one. It’s such a “keep the status quo” set of picks, that Morgan is a statistical anomaly.

    Bob Brady has protected Republican John Taylor (177th house seat) for years. It’s a 2-to-1 Dem district, yet Brady waved off a candidate to give Taylor uncontested general election in 2014. There is no way that a 2-1 Dem district, the ONLY Republican house district in Philly, could exist is without Brady’s blessing (and betrayal).

    This PRESIDENTIAL year, the Dems have a candidate, who is not a Brady lackey and running a real race. I’ve heard that Taylor’s worried and going around begging for money/support.

    Give the GOP lead in the State House, there is no longer any valid justification to “protect” Taylor or pretend his presence gains the Dems any favor with his GOP colleagues. Every vote count and every GOP seat needs a Dem running to flip it.

    If Brady can’t muster the resources to flip that seat, he should resign or admit he’s in cahoots with Taylor (and then resign).

  7. That would be Morgan Cephas, Dave. That should make you happy since I hear you are a Bob Brady hater or disdainer. You sometimes post unflattering things about him. Brady’s guy won special election. SEIU also endorsed Katie while not an incumbant also not Sestak. Cheers!

  8. “Chaka Fattah? Really? What if he is in jail?”

    Well, it’s good for the union bosses to support him in case they later become cellmates.

  9. Why don’t they just say ” we endorse all Democrats in All Races” Even if they aren’t Qualified we still will endorse them cause we are Sheep and do what we are told…

  10. The usual suspects. 🙂

    Is there ANY challenger to an incumbent on this list?
