How could the republican party have handled it any better? Gleason did not pick the candidate. The state was not going to have a special election in the district. What could have been done differently? I'm sure that the process on the Democratic side was pretty much the same.
"I volunteered for Dianas campaign, I live in the district. Both Irey and Russell ran virtually unopposed in their respective primaries. There has not been a competitive Republican primary in the 12th CD in years."
Both Irey and Russell are solid conservatives so we had a good conservative run against Murtha. We now have a competitive republican primary. I don't see why you're upset.
To: Buckeye McFrog
Here we go. Murthas rigormortis has barely set in and weve got the Chiefs leaving town and Republicans fighting with each other. LOL! Ah, the good old days!
BTW, where are the Chiefs headed? I havn't checked up on Johnstown sports news lately.
To: Old Teufel Hunden
The Republican primary will be a real shootout, I look forward to it.
As for being upset, not me. I respect Russell for what he’s doing now and what he’s done all of his life.
We could do worse than Burns,that’s a fact, but we’ll probably never have another opportunity to elect a man of the caliber of Bill Russell.

I’m with Russell. No reason for him to keep his mouth shut. He’s right.

You either know nothing, or are just making it up as you go along.

Good post. We need more Republicans willing to stand up to the Gleason good-ole-boy gang.
To: Old Teufel Hunden
It is exactly like it.
Do you know where you are right now?

Probably on Gleason’s payroll.
I do agree that we have a bunch of lily livered, chicken shiites in this state, all kissing up to Gleason
Gleason is a major reason we had McCain and thus why we now have Obama.

I used to get amused when I’d hear PA “Republicans” throw around the word conservative and try to impress voters with catchy soundbites.
Not anymore, now I get disgusted. There’s too damn much at stake.
To: mnehring
I'm surprised this should be such a controversy. It seems that party rules should be clear as to when to call a special election. The party rules are clear.
For special elections, delegates from the district come together, hear the candidates speak, then vote for who they prefer. Burns got the nod.
The primary is proceeding like normal, and Russell is running in that - there's no need to get a minimum percent at a convention or anything like that.

Crawl back under your rock.
To: jazusamo
thanks for proving my point .
the local gop followed the PA state laws for
special elections ?
no district in the country finances special election primaries .
too expensive.
