Control of the state GOP party battle is in full gear…..Chairman McKinney announced this week. Wonder who from Ohio wrote that news release…..the Mike Stuart team is in full battle gear. Already there is talk of a negotiated settlement…..beware of the suggested mediator…..he has a connection to the Warner crew. Is there a third candidate in the wings?
Tuesday’s primary…..will voters send the same message as in the May 18th election…..voter anger! They don’t like the way Washington works…..in fact; there is no love for Washington. Incumbents in both parties…..are being more careful. Despite the cautious November’s midterms may take care of the term limit issue.
Manchin is taking the high road…..his new “Country Road PAC” is the right highway…..it keeps everything clean…..as he begins traveling “the country”…..where will these roads lead…..a place on a new national Democratic tickets in 2012…..a cabinet position…..or another race in WV?
Speaking of Governor Manchin…..getting his former COS Larry Puccio active again is a good move…..Larry is a first class political thinker…..his comment when ask by a Daily Mail reporter about Manchin putting too much stock in polls…..was brilliant…..he just laid it out “Well, then you’re putting too much stock in your constituents”
Republican race for Governor may be underway…..Putnam PA Mark Sorsaia has set up an exploratory committee. Democrats have been watching a huge field jockey for position for a year.
A Republican reader wrote the listing of 10 most influential Republicans…..should include Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-6th).
