Actually Col. Russell wished Burns luck in the special election. And that’s a fact. He half-joking said he might wtite himself in at a town hall meeting in Indiana, PA, both he and Burns were there and the crowd laughed. He also said he’d vote for Burns should Burns be on the ballot in November.

The controversy - which smoothsailing neglects to mention - is that Russell has been asked and has refused multiple times to say he's supporting Burns in the special election or say he'll vote for Burns in the special election.

Russell & co. seem to think that they can't say they're supporting Burns in the special election and still compete in the primary. It's very irrational from my perspective, and self-defeating.

Why not just let the voters decide who they support?

Why are you so desperate for Russell to endorse Burns?

If Burns needs Russell's help to win, why did he get involved in this race in the first place?

Burns hasn't asked Russell to endorse his campaign to my knowledge, so where is all this nonsense coming from. It's getting to be ridiculous.

The truth is that multiple delegate meetings were held, which were held with only those delegates who supported Burns having been invited, Gleasons minions deliberately left those who supported candidates others than those he had picked were not informed of the meeting.

On two occasions that I am aware of, enough people had heard about the meetings by word of mouth, that they were able to stop the sham in process.

The third time was the charm.

This same methodology is being deployed in multiple districts throughout the state.

PA is Gleasons little fiefdom and has been for decades.

We are Louisianna without the Music, or the water. Gleason is Huey Long without the charm. I see you are new to FR. Stick around, you'll learn plenty.
