PA12: Tim Burns Debates Pelosi’s BFF

Pennsylvania Republican Tim Burns hammered Democrat Mark Critz in last night’s 12th District debate: “Nancy Pelosi’s not trying so hard to get him elected because he’s a nice guy.” That’s from my buddy Chris Renner, who adds: Critz is not going down without a fight, and the national Democrats are pulling out all the stops […]
