After months of speculation, Tom Manion, a Republican from Doylestown Township, is expected to announce today that he plans to run for Congress this year against freshman Congressman Patrick Murphy, D-8.
Manion, a 53-year-old colonel in the Marine Reserves and a pharmaceutical executive, is the father of Marine 1st Lt. Travis Manion, who was killed in April by sniper fire during his second tour of duty in Iraq.
Former Congressman Mike Fitzpatrick, who many believed would seek a rematch against Murphy this year, said Monday he wouldn't run for Congress and instead will support Manion's campaign.

Oh, Lancey, God bless you.
(Damn Marines. Nuthin’ but a bunch of the most tender hearted pusses I’ve ever known. Forever makin’ me cry : )
Let us hope this Marine can make a major change in this district.
this guy sounds like a winner. i wish we had someone like this running in the 7th. i heard they just announced a candidate to run against sestak, but dont know much about him yet.
His election had me wondering just how clueless and parasitic the voters in that district are. Obviously, there's too many Democrats there. Oh well - - here's a reminder thread for anybody who may not understand what Sestak is:
“Whoa.... There is hardly a more despicable scumbag in existence than Sestak.”
so true. i fear we are stuck with him for 10 years, at least. the poison from philadelphia has seeped into delco and is turning the county blue. its really depressing.
The Marines are coming to save PA.
