But if the elections of 2006 showed anything, it was that those pesky rank-and-file people -- voters! -- don't always fall in lockstep behind the establishment anymore. You can see this in several of the comments on GrassrootsPA about the recent Central PA caucus endorsement vote. Here is a sampling:
Bob Guzzardi:
Piccola is also Pro Asher, an unrepentent convicted perjurer and attempted briber of public officials and a national representative of Penna Republican State Committee. Really, does this give one confidence in a Piccola candidacy?
"SEPA":
Piccola won did relatively poorly on his home turf. Just like when he ran for governor. Folks still haven’t forgotten when he ran a slate of pro-choice candidates to knock off the many pro-lifers that were once upon a time on State Committee in central PA. Piccola also voted for the third largest tax increase in history.
More Guzzardi:
Mike Long’s involvement in any race has to mean that Reform Conservatives will not support that candidate. I am surprised at Jeff Piccola. He should know that.
"Yvonne":
By the way, I didn’t realize that Jeff Piccola hired Long. That changes everything in my mind. Good luck, Jeff, but you won’t have me advocating for you personally.
"Clark Kent":
So what exactly is Piccola’s abortion stance…? Last I checked he was pro-choice but switched to pro-life when he ran for Gov.
Sounds like someone read our recent post "Pro-Choice Piccola? An F+ on Tax-and-Spend? Yikes."
