An Interesting Turn of Events

BenPA has posted an entry over at Young Philly Politics highlighting a newspaper article the rest of us seem to have missed.

"Moneyman: Bob Guzzardi's Pennsylvania Agenda," by: Jim McCaffrey, The Evening Bulletin
08/02/2006 (full text here)

Check out this paragraph:

Guzzardi said he is targeting six races in southeast Pennsylvania this fall that he hopes can help tip the balance of power away from the current leadership. In four of the races he is supporting Democratic challengers over Republican incumbents. In every case he is supporting new faces over old incumbents.
Guzzardi is supporting Republican Monica Treichel in her race against Democratic incumbent Daylin Leach in the Upper Merion/Lower Merion District 149. He is backing Republican Tom Rolland against incumbent Democrat Kathy Manderino in the Philadelphia/Lower Merion 194th District. Guzzardi likes Democrat Brendan Boyle over Republican incumbent George Kenney in Philadelphia's 159th District. He's behind Democrat Brian Lentz as Lentz goes up against Republican incumbent Tom Gannon in Delaware County's 161st District. Democrat Rick Taylor is his candidate in a race against Republican incumbent Gene McGill in the 151st District of Montgomery County. Guzzardi is also supporting Democrat Chris King against Republican Matt Wright in a race in Langhorne's 142nd District.
He said he expects to give as much as $100,000 total to support these campaigns.


Interesting considering that Guzzardi is a Republican. Read the entire article or BenPA's post for a more complete picture.

Thanks, Jane. BenPA has been sending us stories for awhile and now he'll
be able to post them instead of waiting for one of us other editors
to do it.

BTW, not everyone will agree with you
we're nice. ;)

PD,

Who would say such a thing? Clearly they just don't know you all as well as I do. ;)
