I think that is where part of the damage was done. PLus, Critz disguised himself as a conservative. Thank goodness this election only lasts until this November and Critz will have some votes under his belt which will hopefully reveal how much he's a puppet for Nancy Pelosi. But, overall, Burns didn't do badly for that being a highly Democratic district.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16040553825059591114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872610766194613385.post-48185647896624507972010-05-20T17:37:33.684-04:002010-05-20T17:37:33.684-04:00Really this is not such a huge win in a predomina...Really this is not such a huge win in a predominately Democrat district,and an oxymoron fiscally conservative dem district with an equal oxymoron of blue dog dem politician.

You can only vote in the primaries in PA if you are registered with one of the two parties. period. I think he did amazingly well, and most pundits who proclaimed he might win did not understand the vagaries of PA voting law.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872610766194613385.post-71829899923337060582010-05-20T08:00:25.167-04:002010-05-20T08:00:25.167-04:00the quote of the day; "you cannot just rely o...the quote of the day; "you cannot just rely on people fleeing the Democrats; you must also give them something to run to"<br /><br />Profound.

Forgive the shameless plug, but I wrote <a href="http://warplanner.blogspot.com/2010/05/tim-burns-victory-in-pa-12.html" rel="nofollow">that there's much more to this than meets the eye</a> and any comfort Democrats, the left, and liberals derive from Crist's victory is purely transitory. <br /><br />If anything, Crist only has only <i>three months</i> before he enters the lists again against Burns ~~ who won the Republican primary while losing to Critz. <br /><br />As I said in my post, Burns should be tracking Crist 24/7 to make sure he keeps every last one of his conservative promises in the precious few hours available in congress.<br /><br />~T.W.P.k6whphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14459579212118994056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872610766194613385.post-23767678419657069962010-05-20T00:47:34.177-04:002010-05-20T00:47:34.177-04:00I could be wrong, but I got the impression that pa...I could be wrong, but I got the impression that party didn't work overly hard at trying to win this seat. <br /><br />As far as I know, The Other McCain spent more time there than any big name republican. <br /><br />The party doesn't have a get out the vote machinary in place there. <br /><br />I think that he got 48% of the vote in a district he should have lost by a wide margin in.

Vote them in and out on a regular basis. Our interests are ours and theirs are getting reelected. I say no way.
