Had trouble finding the campaign office but lucky for me the we passed the local Sons of Italy lodge 2786

Marino HQ in Williamsport PA


and who do I run into but the candidates sister Mary Jo who directed us to the campaign HQ.

At the HQ I talked to Hughey Woodring the election chairman who had just done over 100 calls for the candidate tonight. He told me that the response was overwhelmingly favorable, even democrats who they called can’t seem to wait to vote republican this time to stop the spending and to repeal the Healthcare Bill.

This is consistent with what I’ve been hearing again and again from tea party meetings from the Sean Bielat race and all over.

If I’m Tom Marino I’m feeling pretty good about the Pa-10 race, but as Glenn Reynolds says: Don’t get Cocky.

His campaign MGR Tom Communication director Jason Fitzgerald should be here by 8:30 in a few minutes I’ll update you then.

Update : Fitzgerald hasn’t arrived yet but Stacy’s post is up and I would strongly suggest that anyone wanting to know how to run an election contact Hughey Woodring STAT! That guy knows his stuff!

Jason goes over the district with Stacy


Update 2: Talking to Mr. Fitzgerald, says the race will be won in Lycoming county which made the difference in the three way primary that Tom Won bigtime. He believes that this race came in under the radar.

Looking at the overall situation in several races

You mean to say that there are races the MSM was ignoring that might finish differently than they think, who’s been saying that about Massachusetts for a bit?

Update 3: Just talked to the county chairman Bob Brobson he says the Marino race in pa-10 and the Senate and governer’s races are looking good but we have an awful lot more work to do. He has been taking Hughey Woodring advice.

I interviewed John and the Ann Marie Buerkle event last night:

this is the real problem for dems. Over and over I see republican voters who are new to the system, while on the Democratic side existing voters are staying home.

I caught most of Ann Marie Buerkle’s speech today at the event in Clyde yesterday

I like her a lot, but the Lonely Conservative’s high opinion of her speaks volumes as well.

Got a very good nights sleep, Stacy is still kinda Crashed on the couch but he was up later than me and thus managed to tell this story before I did:

“I work 75 hours a week at this place,” said the owner-operator of a convenience store on State Route 41 in Cortland County. “All I ever get are bills coming in, where they’re raising the taxes on this and raising the taxes on that.”

The silver-haired small business owner’s diatribe had begun when I put a copy of the Syracuse Post-Standard on the counter and he asked, “Reading about all our political prostitutes?”

His business was my favorite stop of the trip, he sold RootBeer Popsicle which I like in the same way Stacy likes coffee and cigs.

He also points out that the store was in fact in NY-24 so I stand corrected about passing through Mr. Hannah’s district.

He also updated his post with an interview with Ann Maire Buerkle

It's not generally known but Robert Stacy McCain weaves a multi colored cocoon and emerges from it daily to blog

So once he emerges from the cacoon we will be off and running.
