New Jersey is almost certainly going to go Democratic in this year’s presidential race. That doesn’t leave a lot for us deep thinkers to pontificate about. But then there’s the keystone county in the Keystone State. That’s Bucks County, Pa., according to Charles McElwee of RealClearPolitics. He recently wrote an excellent analysis in which he termed the county “the ultimate suburban bellwether.” So I was intrigued when I got an email from a reader informing me of a pro-Trump motorcade that would be held on Saturday just across the Delaware. Alex Armstrong told me the rally was organized not by...

...In that year’s presidential election, Bucks’s swing voters helped deliver the state to then-vice president George H. W. Bush over Michael Dukakis, the Democratic governor of Massachusetts. Bush became the last Republican to win the county. And yet, in 2016, Hillary Clinton carried Bucks by fewer than 2,700 votes...This narrow margin was a forgotten factor in Trump’s statewide victory by about 44,000 votes. “Bucks was a disaster,” one Democratic media strategist told the Inquirer. In a county where Democrats have outnumbered Republicans since 2008, Clinton’s underperformance indicated that Bucks remained an unpredictable battleground. This year, suburban Philadelphia is undoubtedly Joe...

In pictures he posted on Facebook of his country club wedding in Bucks County, Matthew Aimers is beaming in a tuxedo as he gazes at his new bride. But the smiling photos belie the reality of his wedding day, when he was led away from the reception in handcuffs after what police described as a drunken brawl. But that was not the worst of it, police said. At the wedding reception, they said, the newly wed Aimers, 31, forced himself on a teenage waitress, groping her and exposing himself to her in a bathroom stall. Aimers of Willingboro, was arraigned...

BUCKS COUNTY, Pa. (CBS) — Police made an arrest Thursday in a series of mysterious explosions that have rocked Bucks County for months. Law enforcement converged on two locations in Quakertown as part of the investigation – a chemical company on Old Bethlehem Pike and the home of the owner of that company on Spinnerstown Road.

Jim Donnelly is a registered Republican who is disgusted. His lifelong party, he believes, has done little for anyone but the wealthy, the well-connected, and its own leaders. "I'm a strong Republican and this is the worst I've ever seen it," said Donnelly, 73, a retired factory production manager who lives in Lansdale. "In Washington, D.C., and in Harrisburg, the Republicans are only looking out for themselves. I don't see any Republican I like except for Donald Trump - because he says it the way it is." Donnelly has a lot of company in Pennsylvania. For decades, the state has...

Condemned by prosecutors as reckless, cowardly, and contemptuous of the law, Montgomery County lawyer David Manilla was jailed Friday with bail set at $2 million after being charged in the shooting death of a Bucks County deer hunter. Manilla, 49, of Worcester, was charged with involuntary manslaughter, felony firearms violations, and a slew of lesser counts in the Nov. 29 death of Barry Groh, 52, of Quakertown. He was arrested after admitting to authorities Thursday that he accidentally shot Groh with a high-powered rifle in Richland Township, Bucks County. Manilla said he thought he had shot at a deer. "We...

NEW YORK — November 2 is not here yet, but polling problems have begun. From possibly malfunctioning ballot gear to potential fraud, the 2010 mid-term vote is marred even before Election Day has dawned. •Like jurors who deliberate before a trial concludes, some Nevadans who have tried voting early for Republican Senate nominee Sharron Angle instead have seen Democrat Harry Reid’s name appear on their electronic voting machines. Some voters have complained about this apparent glitch, but how many others unwittingly have miscast their ballots? Intriguingly, these machines are maintained in Las Vegas by members of the Service Employees International...

LANGHORNE, Pa. -- From the 1930s through the 1950s, Bucks County northeast of Philadelphia acquired a glamorous reputation as a retreat for Manhattan celebrities, including Oscar Hammerstein, who, according to local legend, was inspired by the view from his Doylestown front porch to write “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’,” the opening song of “Oklahoma!” Today the county, which is 93 percent of Pennsylvania’s 8th Congressional District, figures in Republicans’ plans to sing that song on the morning of Nov. 3. The district has about 209,000 Democrats, 189,000 Republicans and 66,000 independents. The seat is held by a Democrat, Patrick Murphy,...

The conventional wisdom is Tom Lingenfelter will pull votes from Republican Mike Fitzpatrick. Two former interns for Congressman Patrick Murphy, now working for the state Democratic Party, have turned in nominating petitions to get a third-party candidate on the ballot. The interns - Brian Caplan of Northampton and Jessica Milinichik of Bristol Township - submitted 148 signatures on the notarized papers for Tom Lingenfelter, a Doylestown historian. The addition of Lingenfelter to the 8th District ballot is significant as his presence in a rematch between Murphy, a Democrat, and former Congressman Mike Fitzpatrick, a Republican, could tilt the outcome. Back...

A Tea Party has been planned at the exact spot where Gen. George Washington and his troops launched a surprise attack across the Delaware River in 1776 and eventually motivated a young American nation to shake the bonds of tyrrany. The Tea Party has been dubbed the Kitchen Table tea party because of the two women who organized it are just "two normal moms" who have seven kids between them. .

If you were looking for a fair and unbiased reaction to Patrick Murphy’s speech at the Democrat Convention that genuinely reflected the pulse of the community at large, where would you go? Would you head to a local bar? Perhaps a community center? Would you talk to people in the street? If you were a writer for Calkins Media’s Bucks County Courier-Times, you would head straight for a partisan “Patrick Murphy Watch Party and Phone Bank” organized through Barack Obama’s official web site at the home of a “Proud, Loud, and Excited Volunteer” for the Obama campaign. Then you’d obscure...

Fitzpatrick steps in for Boy Scoutshttp://www.phillyburbs.com/pb-dyn/news/111-07312006-691181.html http://tinyurl.com/pvk5s By BRIAN SCHEID Bucks County Courier Times Congressman Mike Fitzpatrick, R-8, wants the city of Philadelphia to end its dispute with the Boy Scouts of America. Fitzpatrick has sent a letter to Philadelphia Mayor John Street, blasting the city's pending decision to oust the Boy Scouts from their Philadelphia headquarters for refusing to change their policy prohibiting gay members. Fitzpatrick, an Eagle Scout and former president of the Bucks County Council of the Boy Scouts of America, also gave a brief speech on the floor of the House of Representatives Wednesday in support...

The name change: Why we did it Bucks County Courier Times Our view: We didn't drop Give-A-Christmas in favor of Holiday Fund in a politically correct effort to minimize religion. We changed in recognition of changing demographics and to broaden the fund's appeal. We get it. We really do. We understand why some folks are upset about the name change for our annual fund drive. We've read all the letters - and we sympathize. But replacing Give-A-Christmas with Holiday Fund - a change we implemented last year - wasn't done to minimize the importance of Christianity's most celebrated and joyous...

This is sad news on a day where 2 other young women were found safe and sound out in California. Melissa Chamberlain, 21, of Bucks County, PA, was found dead today in Trappe, Md. Her body was found 25 yards off U.S. Route 50 in a wooded area. During a press conference involving FBI and local official in PA, it was announced that John Passmore, the former boyfriend of Ms. Chamberlain, had lead authorities to the body. She was most likely killed on July 15 or 16, according to authorities. Authorities are in negotiations with Passmore to arrange a confession,...
