Spencer speculates on potential GOP candidates for 2008
In DelcoTimes' Gil Spencer's latest rant about Joe Sestak, he peeks into the minds of the Delco Republican power mongers who are not pre-determining for the voters of the PA-7 region who they will put up against Joe Sestak in the 2008 election.
Spencer talks to John McNichol, recently retired from his Delaware County patronage job, now spending time trying to figure out how Sestak defeated their top elected official Curt Weldon last year, and plotting Sestak's demise. McNichol talks about two potential candidates: real estate developer Tim Pulte and attorney Steve Elliott. Spencer speculates that McNichol prefers Pulte. Spencer quotes McNichol: “The family has a ton of money,” McNichol says, and the candidate would have his own “personal fortune” from which to draw.
It's nice to know that McNichol is holding with long-standing Republican traditions. It would be disturbing to see the local GOP machine appoint their candidate based on something like positions on the issues or track record for service. Anything but complete self-interest and power-mongering would be a complete break with the local GOP ideals!
As far as Spencer's attacks on Sestak in his latest diatribe, he says, "Unfortunately, Democratic congressmen like Sestak have a vested interest in seeing America fail in Iraq." You have to wonder why editor-in-chief Phil Heron allows Spencer to continue to shoot himself in the foot with junk like that.

This War Board machine is starting to really lose it. Did John McNichol really tell the DELCO times that they were backing Pulte because he had the dough and for no other reason?
I don't know who Elliott is, but even McNichol seems to say he is more qualified than Pulte. Typical War Board attitude, ignore the well qulified candidate and take the money and run.
But it looks like it's tainted money - Pulte homes has a terrible reputation. I don't know what relationship Tim Pulte has with Pulte homes, but the family will have to be ready to take a big PR hit if he runs. There are already plenty of blogs and websites devoted to the neglect and corruption of the Pulte company and it will be fun to see poor Tim challenge Joe with all that stuff behind him.

Weldon lost because Melanie Sloan petitioned for an investigation of Weldon and got it. I hope Joe Sestak is doing well in his new job, I never met him in person, but am told he is a good man.
Progressive Patriot...More like Nancy Pelosi's little yes man
