According to several reputable sources, the Allegheny County GOP HQ in Pittsburgh just had lost power. Because the office building at 125 Seventh Street is without power, telephones, computers, and other office machines are unusable, a huge blow to Bush supporters hoping to remain competitive tonight in this key area of the country.
While it is still not clear the cause of this electrical problem, politics could potentially be a factor.
The Democrat Headquarters across the street and other surrounding buildings are said to be with power...
I say we go over to the Dems and take out their power! The Rats!
Mayor Murphy at his best.....
this confirms that the Dems are scared about losing PA. Allegheny went for Gore by about +5 in 2000. If Bush was to pick up PA, he needed to make inroads here. For the power to mysteriously go out means that Dems must sense a Bush surge in PA. GET OUT AND VOTE!
Mamma T dirty trick.
Tell them to go outside and flip the main circuit switch up.
Union thugs run the local power company, maybe?
Take them a couple of generators asap....
PA Freepers, call in office & if no answer, rush in with cell phones, volunteer, GOTV!
Phones out too? Timing is suspicious.
FWIW, there is a storm moving through Pittsburgh right now.
The only thing that I can tell you is that every conservative I know in Allegheny county is fired up and has already voted. I'm not sure if we are energized or enraged. Maybe both.
Phones in large buildings (with a switchboad) need AC power.
Get the candles out and get as many cell phones has possible

Potentially be???? If the Rat Headquarters across the street is up and running no potential sandwich to eat here.
If this is interfering with telephone systems, it may be possible to plug in plain-jane phones directly into the jacks to keep the lines open...unless the phone lines are down, too... Try to keep the main number into the office operational...
Electrician freepers need to go to the pittsburgh headquarters and fix the fuses- get them power generators - or whatever it takes to get them up to speed.
Fortunatly cell phones are so ubiquitous that phones are probably not a problem. I don't think it's a problem to get landline phone numbers patched into a cell phone number. The big problem I would assume is the lack of computers. Hopefully they have laptops running on battery power.
Generators! Get out the generators. Troy-built...head over to Lowes.
