YES! Thank you! That was the time to "clean house" and "deliver the spanking".
Actually, the party in PA, with the help of the national party, quashed all attempts to hold real primaries in several races; not the least of which was the Senate Race in 2004....and most recently, the Governors race. The Republican controlled state legislature also worked hand in glove with the Democratic Gov to pass an absolutely egregious payraise for state government...making PA pols the second highest paid in the nation, but in the aggregate, the most expensive legislature in the nation.
The Republican party, particularly in the state of PA, is filthy, rotten, putrid to the core. We can't wait to clean this mess up.
Until such time as the party machine at the local, state and national levels learns to keep their grubby mits off the primary, the general must be fair game. We will do what we have to do even if it's in the general.
