Sooo...now the question will be whether or not Gleason and the PA GOP-E will back Wagner like they’re supposed to, or play “sour grapes” and help the Rat win in order to teach the TEA Party a lesson?

My money is on Gleason and his cronies to sit this one out. They are a vindictive bunch and would rather see their party defeated than back a true conservative.

Gleason has sent a congratulatory message.

But the GOPe has to be worried. There are three Tea Party candidates for the May 20th Republican Primary for State House seats in York County alone, plus several others in the middle part of Pennsylvania and more beyond.

Wagner could influence these races with endorsements, money etc. etc.

I hope Wagner helps Bob Guzzardi in his GOP primary challenge to Tom Corbett for governor. The Establishment is challenging Guzzardi’s nominating petitions and if he gets thrown off the ballot, I hope Guzzardi goes forward as a write-in, too.

Smart money is on the latter.

Gleason and the GOPe will probably just sit this one out. York County doesn't have a particularly well-suited demographic to "teach the TEA Party a lesson."

It would be like trying to teach the TEA Party a lesson in Wyoming.
