Candidate Catch-all December 8 2009
6th CD – Curt Schroder has amassed an impressive quantity of legislative endorsements, most recently added were State Senators Folmer and Mensch. It’s not crazy to ask whether that’s helpful in the current anti-establishment environment, but on the other hand Schroder is trying to overcome what might be characterized as the biggest inside deal of the election cycle.
11th CD – Kanjorski was caught on video saying some pretty ridiculous things about Republicans. (Via Lilik ?) If the political parties were reversed this would be a major media dust-up, but being a Democrat, Kanjo’s fairly safe from that.
Congressman Kanjorski: [Republicans] “would like us to lose in Afghanistan, have an unemployment rate of 15-20%, and see the country go down the drain. Now that would be to their political advantage.”
Speculation on Kanjo’s retirement? Color me skeptical.
Barletta seems set to announce his candidacy Wednesday. (Who’s kidding whom? … “decisions” don’t get pre-announced, declarations get pre-announced.)
UPDATE: Barletta announcement on Tuesday.
12th CD – I’m apparently not the only one who thinks Murtha is vulnerable.
17th CD – The Frank Ryan website is up. Facebook, Twitter, and a stray YouTube video.
