Hoping to stop state Rep. Gary Haluska from winning a sixth term, local Republicans have taken the unusual step of placing a classified ad in a newspaper seeking state House hopefuls.

Republicans have about a month to gather the 300 signatures on nominating petitions, spurring county GOP Chairman Robert A. Gleason Jr., to cast a wide net for candidates.

Enticements include $62,000 a year, leased car, mileage paid and a pension

1. That's comical.

I grew up near Johnstown.

2. A Democrat ought to answer the ad and get the nomination

Then endorse Haluska.

:evilgrin:

3. Here the county clerk consistently has to advertise for Repug

poll workers in the newspaper. Methinks there are a lot fewer of them who want to do anything than their numbers would indicate. In a county with 25% unemployment, wouldn't you think they would want a day's pay? Lazy communists just sitting around on the dole,LOL.
