Hey, I think this is the first time I’ve started a thread in approx. 10 years being a freeper. Hope this isn’t a duplicate.

Freeper Rosanna Pulido won the primary in her special election for Rahm Emanuel’s seat last night as well.

Even if it is, good news like this needs repeating a time or two. Thanks for putting it up.

[SatinDoll]

Hmmm...Rosanna Pulido in Illinois, and now this fellow.

Perhaps this the beginning of a political trend.

[GoCards]

Its a start!!!!

I’m just messin with you FRiend.

let us hope the newly elected man has gumption.

Where are you at up there?

[GWMcClintock]

Okay, so when does the Democrat(Rhoades) start demanding recounts until he wins?

[Vigilanteman]

He not only won, but won big, with 62% of the vote. Interesting parallel here to the Mel Carnahan case in Missouri in 2000. A dead guy won the election. But rather than appoint his widow to guarantee the Republicans a seat until the following general election, they agree to a special election.

Too late ChetNavVet, I’m already screwed up royally. Ha Ha.

Really hard to say if he has gumption or not. It is interesting to note that my PA Senate district includes part of Carbon County. In the PA House of Reps., this seat has been held by the McCall (D) family forever. Keith McCall who currently ownes the seat was made Speaker of the PA House this year. Amazing, little old Carbon County population 60K and our Rep is the speaker.

Have a great day everyone.

Congratulations to both.

Now go out there and represent the people, demonstrate your integrity, look, act and talk like conservatives. Stick to your principles no matter what.

Franklin Twp (Lehighton)Carbon County.

Are you in the area?

[Russ]

Argall is a conservative and has made property tax elimination a priority. Unfortunately we have a governor who blocks this at every turn.

Even though this district is Republican for him to get 62% of the vote was stunning. I look at this as the first referendum on the Democrat's porkulus package.

[Wpin]

Well, you certainly did a good job! We all need some good news. Thanks!

[Redleg Duke]

He only won with 62% of the vote? Why, that means that 38% of the voters have been disenfranchised!

To hell with a recount, the loser wins! It is only fair! (Snif!)

[fatboy]

I look at this as the first referendum on the Democrat's porkulus package.

That makes two of us.

[mike-zed]

Cool! I voted for her.
