i had to join this site just to reply here. see i live in millvale...someone asked earlier, yes it is in pa. millvale lies on the north side of the allegheny river, and it borders the city of pittsburgh.
this mcpherson character is just that. for the past few years he hung a confederate flag in his back window. for his campaign, he hand painted some signs and hung them around town with many misspellings. his election day signs were icing on the cake of this unforgettable character. with two unforgettable additions. in the two main entrances into town, he erected 5 to 6 foot tall signs reading "welcome to millvale, where we don't care and it shows. vote for change."
so it was no surprise of the trouncing that he took when running against jim burn for the mayoral position. millvale is a working man's democratic stronghold, not to be confused with liberal...that coupled with mc pherson's bumbling campaign was really an embarassment for the local republicans.
