There is just ONE thing REALLY pissing me off terribly

[PCIntern]

And that is that in my district, Lower Merion, Montgomery County, PA and extending north and west, the Rethug Gerlach, a cipher, is running Essentially unopposed...a guy who's a vet and a doc is running against him again and there's no frigging campaign. Gerlach is leading 54 to 30 in a district which could easily go Dem as it has before. WHAT THE FUCK???? They're not even trying here...

PISSES ME OFF!!!!!!!!

1. I think it was Tom Hartman that said progressives need to take over DNC chairs in those districts...

...sounds like there's an opening for you

3. I actually gave it some thought...

But I'm in over my head business-wise and can't do it without calamity.

2. WTF? I know the feeling!

4. I'm in your district, and I see what you're talking about.

I've thought that Trivedi could do a very good ad about Obamacare from his point of view as a primary-care physician.

Actually, he does have one good 30-second ad out, using shots of him as a military doctor in Iraq. You can see it at his website.

There's a problem with the fact that he no longer lives in the district after the recent line-changes. He still lives in Birdsboro (near me) but that has been removed from the district. Gerlach is playing on this.

Having been involved in local politics here (Chester County), the problem certainly has something to do with how long the Rs have dominated politics here, so there's really no organization. Also, in a district shaped like ours, how the hell are you going to advertize? In what media?

Equally frustrated.
