Tim Burns is the teabagger candidate.... Locally right-wing talk show host Jim Quinn has been pushing him big time.

If this is a "bellweather" for the fall, then things aren't looking as bad as the media says for the Democrats...

1. Matthews and Fineman are saying otherwise.

Per these two dingbats, the Democrats have only a small chance at keeping small majorities in either chamber. :eyes:

2. This one had me worried.

I'm surprised that Critz is doing so well. The local media made it sound as if it was a toss-up.

They both ran annoying, negative ads. Critz is a very conservative dem, though. There were a lot of great people who didn't get the nod.

4. Critz was an aide to Murtha. I hope he won't be the Congressman from Lockheed/Boeing

grumble grumble

3. Ever see polling on whether Republicans like or dislike teabaggers?

Me neither.

I bet its because it would destroy the MSM's desire to paint the baggers as a viable political force.

I think they just splinter the GOP, but thats fine with me!

5. We won the 12th. Pa. Critz wins Murtha's old seat.

The Dems are doing fine IMO
