Huge shortfalls and the recent flooding have diminished Republicans resistance to infrastructure spending. A new independent expenditure seeks to seal the deal.
Former Congressman and Admiral Joe Sestak has come out very publicly against PA Senator Dominic Pileggi’s plan to change the way Pennsylvania allocates its electoral votes.
Santorum weighs in on the Electoral College question; Rothfus rules out a primary; and three GOP names emerge for PA Auditor General.
Rick Santorum, two-term senator turned quasi-presidential candidate, stopped by the upper house today after a Fox News interview. (Former members of Congress have the right to visit the floor for their rest of their natural lives.) Reporters spotted him and got a dose of Perry-bashing (somewhat standard for the campaign these days) and his analysis of an idea, backed by Republican legislative leadership in Pennsylvania, to assign electoral votes to the winners of congressional districts.
“I am not going to run against Tim Murphy in any primary, period. There’s alot of chattering back and forth but, no. I am running to knock a Democrat out of the House of Representatives because we need a new vision going forward,” former Congressional candidate Keith Rothfus said.
Meet the newly emerged prospective candidates for PA’s top accountant: Joe Watkins, Ann Duke, and State Rep. John Maher. They were meeting insiders and activists at this weekend’s state committee meeting.
Add two more names to the list of congressmen likely to challenge Tom Corbett at Tuesday’s DC meeting. Reps. Tim Murphy (R-Allegheny) and Glenn ‘GT’ Thompson (R-Centre) aren’t sold on the controversial plan to split Pennsylvania’s Electoral College votes.
More Electoral College developments; DADT repeal gets some PA politicos on HBO; GOP Senate primary action; and Toomey dismisses Obama deficit plan.
With many candidates having just jumped into the race, PolitcsPA checked in with GOP candidates Tim Burns, David Christian, Mark Scaringi, Tom Smith, John Vernon and Steve Welch about their experience this Friday at Republican State Committee in Harrisburg.
As the House author of the DADT repeal, former-congressman Murphy was interviewed for an HBO documentary that first airs at midnight tonight, and on prime time tomorrow at 8 p.m.
