We show 4 candidates for PA-8 trying to unseat Murphy. Can you check out all 4 and confirm that Carlineo should be our choice? Can she win in November? Does she have financial support? Can you find out if any of these candidates have dropped out?

Here are the links:

Gloria Carlineo

Mike Fitzpatrick

Ira Hoffman

James Jones

I suspect Fitzpatrick will be the nominee. He was the incumbent narrowly edged out by Patrick “Mini-Murtha” Murphy in 2006 and he has a serious name recognition advantage. Murphy did much better in 2008 riding Obomba’s coat tails, but that won’t work this time. Fitzpatrick will probably be the GOP “approved” candidate, for better or worse.
