co2? Do you mean NO2? (Nitrous Oxide i.e. whip its so you don't have to look it up) If Simmons moderates he loses his base which won him this election. I would be willing to bet 6000 voters in Allentown voted for Delly only because they voted straight democrat they had no idea who this moron was. Those that did voted against him big time. Nice win Justin congratulations. Hope Delly mans up and concedes.

I wouldn't say the Obama machine is in full affect by any stretch. I would say, though, that Republicans should reexamine the realities of the present time and resist being influenced by the farthest to the right, as well as moderate their hard line no compromise mantras since Obama's 2008 election. Turns out no compromise is quite the compromising position these days when it comes to elections in a middle class squeezed economic climate. No compromise just doesn't work, neither does out spending the other party in elections. The bottom line for Justin Simmons is if he wants to stay in politics he should seriously consider a bit of forward thinking. I'm not sure how long he can hold out on name recognition and a "one of our own" voting base.

CO2.... obviously you are not getting enough O2..... we should moderate? We won! Should Obama moderate because he barely won? Wait till 2 years from now, when all the bums in Allentown won't even know it's election day. Simmons will win by 15% against whatever stiff the Demos put up. Maybe that dimwit Karen Beyer again?

Beyer lost in a primary where only the tea baggers turned out to vote for their puppet. She would easily win a general election. Lamb Chop can not say that.

Karen Beyer? Bwahahaha ...

Crestor, Do you work, are you retired, or independently wealthy with nothing better to do? Clearly, the handle I use is too distracting for you. Again, I am a republican who is fed up with how the republicans are conducting themselves. To be more precise, who our government is conducting itself on both sides of the isle. There seem to be only a few people who contribute to these articles that, at least, sound like they "get it." Mostly, it is folks like you who just want to hear themselves blow. I hope Justin "gets it," I think he might. It's funny though, many like yourself are so on the republican defensive that you don't even hear what is being said - just take a swing.

Handouts, funny....that is what I thought of of the auto industry, even more so for the too big to fail banks, and Wall Street. There seems to be an over abundance of takers across the spectrum from poverty through wealth along with everything in between. Our government bails everyone out. Let's face it, no democrat or republican would say no to the "too bigs." Bush #1 didn't, neither did #2, Clinton, Obama, or any other president that we vote in. It's a f&#@+<% mess, so I don't think you have to wait to LYAO - the disaster is alive and well.
