Rick Daugherty Looks Forward to "Gentlemen's" Campaign

I saw LV Congressional candidate Rick Daugherty both Saturday and Sunday this weekend. He attended both the Steelworkers' parade as well as the dedication of a historic marker in honor of a Bethlehem Steel worker who was shot during a 1910 riot.

Daugherty knows I support his opponent, incumbent Charlie Dent. But he still sought me out to tell me he hopes to wage a positive gentleman's campaign with Dent.

Charlie Dent is an affable, soft-spoken person. He's also someone you don't want to face in an election. But he's very low key this election cycle, so Daugherty might get his wish.

    Rick, you will lose. Please don't take it personally and thanks for carrying the colors in a thnakless race.

    Charlie is a great guy and people like him. His eventual downfall will be his being forced to move more and more to the extreme teabagger right.

    Eventually he will be beat because his District just isn't that crazy.

    It was a mistake to nominate Rick Daugherty instead of Jackson Eaton.

    Jackson Eaton used to work for Dent, you think there would have been a true opponent there?

    Rick won the nomination because folks are sick of bought and paid for candidates. Eaton waltzed in with his Daddy's money and his ties with Dent hoping for an easy in. There are a lot of folks in the new 15th that don't know either candidate outside of the LV. Congress Approval is so low that everyone goes.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
