The Pennsylvania GOP just endorsed an admitted turncoat Rat to run against Casey in the upcoming election.

...And the GOP`s jihad vs. conservatives continues.

Bob Casey Jr? He’s still alive? It’s like a Sasquatch sighting.

Welch has been criticized by his rivals for briefly changing his registration to Democrat so he could vote for Barack Obama in the 2008 Democratic presidential primary

Operation Chaos?

and giving money to Sestak when he ran for U.S. House in 2006.

No.

The PA GOP is totally bankrupt. If anyone is wondering why Rick Santorum lost so badly in his last Senate race, you can look to the PA GOP establishment and Santorum's willingness to go along to get along with them.

Wonder if he learned his lesson?

No different than the WV GOP endorseing Spike Maynard against Nick Rahall (D) WV3 in 2010. Maynard, a life-long RAT was PO’d at being primaried out of his judgeship in 08 and switched to the GOP in early 2010 to run for the House.

Sadly, it IS how the GOP does things.

This is so par for the course.

Poke at conservatives? No. Kick in arse from the PaGOP.

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

This guy is a turncoat? He sounds darned good to me. What more do you want? http://www.welchforpa.com/issues/

Corbett thinks he’s the boss of the GOP in PA, he tried to push Mike Turzai into a western PA district for Congress but Turzai backed out.

That’s the race being contested by a real outsider, Keith Rothfus, who defeated the GOP insider in the primary in 2010 and nearly beat Altmire in the general election.

Welch is outstanding. Tim Burns is okay, but cannot come close to matching Welch as a debater. Welch also comes from a business background and has common sense ideas for solutions. He also speaks very quickly - - so fast that he can get a point across before Casey can raise those eyebrows.
