What's Left Of The Democrats Might Just As Well Call It A Day

Here in Pennsylvania, where the Census data returns a requirement to remove One Congressional District and reapportion the Commonwealth's districts, the Republicans plan to meet in Harrisburg to have a sober look at how they might call these shots.  Why they'd want to get rid of Altmire - who often as not votes with them on fiscal issues - I cannot say.  But Altmire ALWAYS votes the progressive agenda of Nancy Pelosi in the Party Caucus.

I have discerned a connectedness between Altmire and Bob Casey and I don't like it.  For Casey, who was elected by tons of traditional democrats who bit the bullet and endorsed him in 2006, it might be time to make it clear that his gestures to take over the Democratic Party and continue his family fued with the Clintons and Ed Rendell is destroying the party.  Absolving himself of responsibility for his disgusting backing of Obama when the Democrats of Pennsylvania expressed a clear preference for Clinton - as something his kids convinced him to do pissed me off more than I can say.  For Jason Altmire to take Obama's money and vote for him over Clinton who had a 40% primary edge in his district was a total stiffing for which I withheld my support and my vote in 2008.  Obama lost Altmire's district to the Palin/McCain ticket and because of the residual resentment fostered by the Women of Pennsylvania, the Party's most reliable voters, I predict that the Democrats will continue to lose elections as long as they let the "progressive" punks of the party do their talking.

Jim Burn, new State Chairman, is on board with the Guy Trip all the way and is foolishly following the lead of the males of the State Committee who are backing ANY candidate who can be propped up long enough to take out sitting Democrats of the more established tradition.  As the result, incompetence characterizes the Democrats in the Commonwealth who go into the reapportionment work as clueless as the empty suit they put in the Oval Office with yammering that passed as campaign by virtue of the abdication of duty on the part of the 4th Estate.

After looking over all the possible combinations - and this is my personal view: I have neither discussed nor proposed this elsewhere, I encourage the Women of Pennsylvania to urge Allyson Y Schwartz to challenge Bob Casey for the Senate Nomination.  Any Republican Women out there with designs on the other Senate Seat in Pennsylvania, Have At It.  I had hoped that Kathy Dahlkemper would consider a run, but Schwartz has the donors and the time in the Committee processes to give Casey a run.  Her experience in national politics also extends his.

Rep. Allyson Y Schwartz (D) PA 13

It is my opinion that a Woman of Schwartz's substance would be an acceptable candidate to enough factions to "Take Down Casey" and to do to the "bold (rash) progressives" what they have advocated for several years be done to establishment Democrats who aren't rubberstamping the Progressive Agenda of Pelosi / Reed / Obama.  If Joe Sestak makes another run and gets on the Ballot, a three-way race in the primary guarantees Schwartz a nomination.

Thus she averts a showdown with Fattah in the Philly Suburbs and puts Casey on the hot seat he's been begging for with his middle finger in the air to the traditional Democrats of Pennsylvania.
