When Arlen Specter is up for re-election, let’s have Barletta challenge him in the primary.
We’ll help raise $$.
I hope they want him to run for national office in order to expand his influence, not to get him out of Hazleton where he’s trying to do something and into a toothless “committee” or two in Congress to neutralize him.
Problem is, Barletta already ran for the House and lost in 2002. He’s in a rodent-leaning district. I think he’d be a better choice for Governor in 2010.
I don’t live in Pennsylvania, but I wish I did, just so I could vote for Mayor Barletta. If he ever ran for national office, I’d vote for him for his actions in standing up for the law in Hazleton. I think he’s a great American and a hero!
