Team,

Thanks to a lot of hard work on the part of a lot of campaign volunteers and Peg Luksik’s organizational and team building skills, it looks like we are back on the ballot. Thank you all for all the enthusiasm, phone calls, footwork, and prayers. It would not have been possible without you! We needed 1000 votes to be listed on the ballot for the General Election in November.

Here are the preliminary and partial reports so far:

Washington County 764 Greene 381 Allegheny 24 Armstrong 412 Somerset 26 Cambria unavailable Westmoreland unavailable Fayette unavailable Indiana unavailable

TOTAL TO DATE 1607

That’s actually a great number for an off year R primary, IMHO.

[smoothsailing]

I hope it works out well for LTC Russell, but this is a bit worrisome...

Official counts on the write-in votes in most of the nine counties touched by the 12th Congressional District will not be known until later this week, election officials said Tuesday.

There's still time for Murtha's goons to do their dirty work.

[Just A Nobody]

WooHoo! Do you have a ping list for your show? Will you kindly add me, if you do? Thanks!

[Just A Nobody]

Totally agree!

[Old Teufel Hunden]

I heard the first hour so I don’t know if they talked about it or not. They may not have heard about it yet. I am going to fire off an e-mail to Quinn to let him know. He’ll help the colonel out...

[Just A Nobody]

There's still time for Murtha's goons to do their dirty work......

.....while being aided and abetted by this disgusting excuse for a republican.

[jazusamo]

You can be sure if Murtha’s goons can figure a crooked way to nullify this they will.

I am surprised and appalled that Gleason is still the Repub Chair in PA. The Party needs to get their head on straight in PA.

AMEN my FRiend! AMEN!

The Party needs to get their head on straight in PA across the nation.

Just a little tweaking was needed. ;*)

[smoothsailing]

Exactly! And don't forget the two Johnstown "republicans", Zucco and McKelvey who got him thrown off the ballot a couple of months ago.

What can I say other than you're exactly right! :-)

[Just A Nobody]

Thanks for the reminder! I almost forgot them. Going to stand in a corner now. ;*)

[Just A Nobody]

LOL! I love hearing those 3 little words...
you're exactly right! ;*)

[smoothsailing]

LOL! ;-)

Maybe she’s already doing this, but I also hope that he frequently has Diana Irey campaigning with him as well as giving introductory speeches prior to his speeches. Diana Irey can truly help boost his campaign even more.

Looking better all the time!

[elizabetty]

Since I can’t bring myself to send John McCain or the RNC any money, I will be happy to donate to Lt. Col. Russell’s campaign.

[StAnDeliver]

"Back in 2006, Diana Irey was a VERY strong candidate, but she could not overcome Murtha's pork and state and local GOP indifference to her campaign."

The Colonel needs the wherewithal to defeat Murtha on the idiot box. Period.

Seems to me like we should consider setting up a LtCol Russell ping list, maybe even use the Murtha Watch / Defend Our Marines list as a base.

What do you guys think?
