Anyone see the Delgrosso/Shuster debate on today?
I can't tell who did worse. Shuster was really, prepared and probably tested extensively for every question, so he seemed to do better than Delgrosso. And Delgrosso kept on holding up a baby food jar with a snail in it to emphasize the snail's pace that Shuster was working for the 9th Congressional district.

But considering that Shuster sent an aide, to spy on Delgrosso's house, and when caught the aide talked, and talked. Shuster first denied it, then said maybe he did do it, then changed his story back to a full denial. They are investigating the incident now, and it keeps on getting delayed, hopefully the results of the investigation will come out before the Primary. But I really doubt it.

1. I watched part of it
The snail thing was kind of weird. They're not my district anymore anyway. Do you know who the Democratic candidate is?

3. But the Repubs are restless...running against each other....
The Shuster Spying thing is still lingering...that hurt him big time.

A lot of people are on board with DelGrosso...Democrats are changing their registration to Republican just so they can vote in the primary to make sure DelGrosso is on the ticket...

I think people can see the DelGrosso is clearly a hard working businessman. His spaghetti sauce is in all the local supermarkets. He really has that "man of the people" type of thing...

Compared to Shuster, who is spoiled, privlaged class person who never had to pay any dues, or answer for his wrong doings...

4. That's my district
We used to be in John Murtha's solid Democratic district, but those Republican bastards gerrymandered us out. Shuster gets tons of money into the district and the name stuff after him. I think he's got this in the bag.

5. The roads are named after his father Bud
who held the seat before him.
