Thanks for posting this. I can’t even access Rush’s site where I’m at, so transcripts are always welcomed.
Its not the entire kettle of fish.
The Demrat in Republican clothing, friend of Jack Murtha and the Republican Chairman of the State believe it or not, was key in Critz win.
That is just what he wanted.
He split the conservative Republican vote by hijacking the Russell campaigns nationwide supporters and almost literally appointing his own candidate through behind the scenes skullduggery.
Russell predicted that Critz would win the special and that he would become the incombant and thus Tim Burns would fail in November.
I do not have the numbers right now, but you can check it out if you like.
A significant number of folks who voted for Burns in the special didn’t even bother to vote for him in the primary. Thousands did this, in a painfully low turn out election.
Critz will win in November
Burns will be screwed and he can join the people of PA.
Sheeple.
Rush rocks.
The other factor people are ignoring is the Democrat state government scheduled the PA 12 special to take place at the same time as the Senate primary. The Dems had a hotly contested primary but the Republicans did not. Plus, Pennsylvania has closed primaries. So, that depressed indy and pubbie turnout.
And I think there is something to the charge of Republican complacency. After willing all the special elections people thought this would be easy. It won't.
Great, he ran away from the Obama agenda, terrific. You know what, as soon as he gets to DC he will run right back to it and vote lockstep with San Fran Nan. What Republicans should be doing right now is figuring out how NOT to let these jerks run away from Obama and Nan during the elections. They need to figure out pronto how to drive the message home to the American People that there is NO SUCH THING as a moderate democrat. If a “D” is by the name, Obama’s agenda is the game.
