I’m glad to see some action here. Obama is losing support in PA and that should put Casey at risk.

I found this on another website about a month ago & posted it, but at that time it was just a rumor.
If this douchebag gets the senate nomination I’ll be upset. Burns is an empty suit. And a Gleason hack. Bad news.

He is, of course, being secretly funded by his Uncle Monty.

Hmmm...missed that. Thanks for posting it. Burns lost twice. Granted, it was Murtha’s seat and Critz ran as a staunch conservative. But losing twice is not a good resume to build on.
We’re dying here for a conservative of stature to take on Casey. This is a prime opportunity which won’t likely won’t present itself again for a while.

Tim Burns needs to win a seat in congress first. Unless your Daddy is a former Democrat governor, the U.S. Senate from Pennsylvania may not be your appropriate entry level job.
I met Tim Burns when he was running for Murtha's old seat. He is a good businessman and a nice enough fellow, but he is still an amateur at campaigning. Casey may be a dopey empty suit, but he's backed by union machine thugs who know exactly how to run campaigns and control the government lackeys which they come to own.

Tim Burns would at least put this race on the map.

Anybody but Burns. He lost twice in a Republican landslide year. Plus he’s Gleason’s boy, an instant disqualifier in my book.
To: randita
I don’t think Burns would stand much of a chance against Casey. We need a heavyweight to run, such as Lou Barletta or Jim Gerlach. Casey can be defeated, but not by someone who couldn’t beat Critz in a great GOP year in a district that is pretty typical of PA as a whole.

A two time House seat loser. And now he wants to go bigger.
Ego.

Where’s Lenny Dykstra living these days? He at least has some name recognition.

Samrorum will run, I bet. Once he drops out of pres race, he could slide right over, perfect timing.
His campaigning and debating skills will be sharp coming off presidential beat.

Oops! Never mind. And I didn't mean that as a dig at Lenny, I seriously hadn't heard about his post-retirement problems.
In May 2011, Dykstra was sentenced to house arrest after a bankruptcy fraud indictment.

I say thumbs down on Burns. There’s a lot of bad blood between him and Russell. He was never a good enough pol to work through it and lost because of it.

I like Lynn, but he ran a pretty pathetic campaign against Rendell. Granted, 2006 was a rough year.
My personal favorite would be Tim Murphy, 18th district congressman. He's well-known in the Pittsburgh area from his years on television. It is a decent base from which to start.

I’d throw Dent in there as well. He has managed to run well in a district that’s fairly typical of PA as a whole (maybe a little more conservative than most, but not by a lot).
Of Barletta, Gerlach, and Dent, I’d say Barletta is the most conservative.
