Media Endorsements for Dent

The Express Times and Morning Call both endorsed Charlie Dent on Sunday for re-election as Lehigh Valley Congressman. Even Esquire magazine has jumped on the bandwagon.

Commending Dent, the Express Times notes he is showing signs of an independent streak. "Among those are supporting embryonic stem cell research, backing a ban on the use of torture on prisoners and refusing to join House leaders' attempt to intervene in the Terry Schiavo case." It actually suggests Green Party candidate Browne is preferable to Dertinger for those who oppose our military misadventure in Iraq. That won't please the Dertinger camp.

Personally, I'm waiting to see how Mad Magazine comes down.

Update: Esquire's endorsement - "Largely forgotten amid the right-wing revolution of the past six years is the fact that the majority of Republicans - both voters and politicians - are social and fiscal moderates. Freshman Charlie Dent is one of their best."

Why do you continually support GW by putting his photos on your blog! Enough is enough.

Alfred E Newman is much more attractive.

They do look a bit alike, but that's more of an insult to Alfred.
