The wimpy local GOP hasn’t even bothered to run a candidate, so the contest is between incumbent Onorato and some other guy named Rick Swartz.<BR/><BR/>First I dismissed the idea, sneering at my pathetic local GOP which had the nerve to ask me to vote for a Democrat. Then I checked out LifePAC - they’ve endorsed Onorato, but not Swartz. I also checked the off-the-charts-left Pittsburgh City Paper, and Swartz is their man. Indeed, many far-left blogs also want Onorato out of office, as he is pretty darn conservative for a Democrat.<BR/><BR/>So this is basically a Joe Lieberman vs. Ned Lamont sort of situation. If I lived in Connecticut in 2006, I would have voted Lieberman, and now, at least in the Primary Election, I’m going to write in Onorato.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
