There is no doubt he is about the numbers and that is exact what the county needs<br /><br /><br />The real candidate that makes the ciara is Panto not Callahan. The naysayers xan say what they want but Callahans reputation doesn't help and he is little known outside of Bethlehem.

What happened to all those wqarings from two years ago when he ran against your boy Charlie <br />Dent. Dent made it clear he was a crappy Mayor and you sang that song for months. You attack McClure and Barron for doing their jobs. You attack Heckman as getting "moldy" money. You have no clue. I guess you prefer all the fresh "developer" money. You want the "for sale" sign up on the county the way it has been in Bethlehem.<br /><br />You really are a funny bird. You are the one marginalizing everone McClure, Barron, Heckman not the other posters. Two years ago Callahan was a bum but now you have been recruited and he is the man. By the way Bernie, it doens't take much monery to reprint all thosse old Dent attack ads and remind people why they rejected Callahan two years ago.
