PA-08 websites / transcripts

Earlier today or late yesterday both Young Philly Politics and The Tattered Coat had postings on the PA-08 race, specifically on Patrick Murphy, who appeared on Hardball last night with Chris Matthews (transcript here). Matthews is the brother of GOP Montco commissioner Jim Matthews and since PA-08 includes a spec of that county I think it would have been nice if he mentioned that, as it may be perceived as a conflict of interest.

For those interested, the three declared Democratic contenders for the race are:

Ginny Schrader (www.ginnyschrader.com/)

Patrick Murphy (www.murphy06.com)

Paul Lang (www.electlang.com)

Lang is the only one whose website actually includes much issue-related material. None of them outline much community service to the area and none of them speak to local issues in any detail. I know it is a federal race but local issues are still important. Murphy's page looked the sleekest to me. Lang's has a blog that has been going for a few months.

We watch. We wait.
