RUMORS ARE SWIRLING THAT ALTMIRE WAS IN SERIOUS LENGTHY DISCUSSIONS WITH THE NRCC ABOUT SWITCHING PARTIES!

Friday's NRCC release has all the looks and smell of a rebuff from a scorned lover. You can't blame the NRCC for intensively recruiting Altmire. They like lobbyists and he was a great lobbyist. However, our blog remains unconvinced that Altmire has ever been an effective advocate for the Western PA Middle Class. In fact, we think Altmire will sell us out in a heartbeat, if our demise helps insure him a place in the beltway.
