After a week of non stop coverage of porcine cosmetics in the Presidential race the local Elephants in the PA-10th CD are back on the farm. A Chris Hackett supporter dressed up in a chicken suit and few other people, including prolific letter writer and blog commenter David Kveragas, came out to voice their disapproval over what they said was U.S. Rep Chris Carney’s (D-Dimock Township) refusal to debate Hackett.
This stunt is right out of a West Wing episode and is even older than that. What next, an empty chair debate or one with a cardboard cutout of Carney?
In the 2006 Pennsylvania Senate race we had "Bobby the Duck"
(left) and in the 117th State House Republican primary this year the Boback Duck (right).
The good news for Hackett is that Laura Bush will be in Moosic for a fundraiser on September 18th.
The fine print of of the invitation sounds like the disclaimers in the drug ads. If you swallow this pill you might grow a third ear or your spleen will develop arms and strangle the rest of your internal organs.

Hackett has a new ad up that closes with the picture of Chris Carney next to Barrack Obama alleging that Carney is more liberal than Obama. I think that it is their best spot so far even though it is a stretch. If it was available on the campaign website or YouTube I would post it. Since it is not I will give you the latest Carney spot.

Too stupid to use to and too properly.
Check out the sign...two(too) funny.
They better hope that Carney doesn't challenge them to a "spelling bee".

I found this in my local paper:
To the editor: His bride still calls him sweetheart.
His children call him Dad.
I call him my congressman;
the best we ever had.
His mother calls him Christopher.
His father calls him son.
He’s doing a terrific job,
but there’s much more to be done.
His sister calls him her best friend.
And she calls him “cool.”
His brothers call him a good sport,
cause he plays by the golden rule.
He’s called commander in the Navy;
in the classroom, Mr.C.
Constituents call him every day;
he’s busy as can be.
When it comes time to cast your vote,
please consider this:
Don’t confuse Congressman Carney
with anyone else named Chris.
Thank you,

I AGREE WITH KAR!
I can't believe it, finally we agree!
I also agree with Catherine Dewald, what a nice poem - Wow!~
Best wishes,

Is Dan Quayle in charge of signage for Hackett?
The fine print matches that of the Obama fundraiser with all of the Hollywood elite.
Does that sign say "Carney 'TO' chicken to vote"??? What an asshole!
It figures he's a Hackett supporter!
Mr. Chicken: get out your costume for McCain! He just chickened out of debating Obama!
