PA-12: Democrats Panicking Over Impending Onslaught of AOSHQ Morons

Posted on | May 6, 2010 | 16 Comments

Did somebody say “panic“? If Nancy Pelosi wasn’t already freaked out by that NRCC internal poll showing that most Democrats in the 12th District don’t even know when the election is, wait until she learns that Tim Burns just received the coveted Ace of Spades Seal of Approval.

UPDATE: Life is good:

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is re-evaluating whether to continue to spend money in this month’s Hawaii special election, Chairman Chris Van Hollen told POLITICO Thursday.
With former Democratic Rep. Ed Case and Democratic state Senate President Colleen Hanabusa splitting the Democratic vote against Republican Honolulu City Councilman Charles Djou, Van Hollen said the committee recognized challenges to winning the race. . . .
A Honolulu Advertiser poll released May 2 showed Djou picking up 36 percent of the vote, with Case at 28 percent an Hanabusa at 22 percent.
The DCCC has spent over $243,000 on TV ads blasting Djou.

If the GOP wins both of these seats, what will it cost Democrats to try to win them back in November — while at the same time defending another 70-80 vulnerable seats?

UPDATE II: Jim Geraghty ranks vulnerable House Democrats, counting 13 as relative easy GOP pickups, 26 as somewhat more difficult and 33 — including PA-12 – in the “50/50″ range. Having been to PA-12 and seen very good hope of a Republican victory May 18, all I can say is that if  PA-12 is more difficult than at least 39 other key races . . . oh, life is good!

    Hey, don’t write all of us in PA-12 off. :) I am :::very::: aware that the special election is May 18. I have been waiting years – years! – to vote out John Murtha, or in this case, a Murtha-like clone. Can’t wait!
