Red Rovers Hand Stoffa His Biggest Margin in County

In Northampton County's red rover District, Democrats refused to drink Bossman Joe Long's kool-aid. He may have ordered Democrats to support county clubber Ann McHale for county exec, but they had their own ideas. That may be why Sharon Davis - area chair in Forks, Palmer, Stockertown and Tatamy - was at John Stoffa's victory party. Stoffa won all four districts, but his margin was biggest in the Easton area. Here are the numbers, according to the
unofficial report.

Easton: Stoffa - 587 votes; McHale - 368 votes.

Forks: Stoffa - 284 votes; McHale - 191 votes

Glendon: Stoffa - 9 votes; McHale - 6 votes

Palmer: Stoffa - 508 votes; McHale - 301 votes

Stockertown: Stoffa - 26 votes; McHale - 18 votes.

Tatamy: Stoffa - 27 votes; McHale - 15 votes.

West Easton: Stoffa - 35 votes; McHale - 23 votes.

Williams: Stoffa - 109 votes; McHale - 83 votes

Wilson: Stoffa - 117 votes; McHale - 82 votes

District Total:

Stoffa - 1702 votes (61.02%) ; McHale - 1087 votes.

    when the county dems endorse mchale, sharon davis was running all over the lv touting the notion that stoffa's days were numbered at the hands of the might boss long machine.

    Sharon Davis is like all political wannabees--follow the winners and quickly.

    Sharon Davis has been allied to Stoffa since the beginning. In fact, Joe Long attempted to undercut her by forming another group in her area ... and not bothering to tell her.

    I didn't know there's another group in the area and I live here.

    Think you are giving too much credit to political operatives. McHale ran a bad campaign. The responsibility was hers to make the issues and make the turnout. She failed in both regards.
