Overheard On The Campaign

David "Chip" Brightbill must have experienced a sense of foreboding.

A Rasmussen poll, commissioned by the Pennsylvania Club For Growth, delivered bad news to the incumbent senator from Lebanon County.

If the primary were held today, Brightbill would be packing up his office and primary challenger Mike Folmer would be moving in.

Out of a poll of 400 likely voters, 45% said they would opt for Folmer, compared to 27% for Brightbill.

Could this be the beginning of the end of business as usual in Harrisburg?

In the course of a one-minute speech delivered recently at the Abington Township Rockledge Boro Republican Organization Annual Dinner this past Friday, Renee Amoore, co-chair of the state GOP committee, stated:

"...Regarding Santorum, I know some of you may want to just hold your noses, but please vote for him anyway!"

Shouldn't the Montgomery County Republican Committee be united in the most important election of 2006?
