Bob McNamara for state senate

As we approach the end of summer the local races are heating up. Bob McNamara is running for the seat of retiring 20th district state senator Charlie Lemmond against everybody's favorite girl Lisa Baker. The district includes a big chunk of Luzerne County and many others.

If you are brave enough to wander into the wild north this Saturday you can meet up with Bob. In a weird year like this he just might be able to derail the coronation of the quasi-incumbent that one friend described as Tom Ridge's "Girl Friday." He thinks he has a chance. From a press release:

The last few months have been exciting ones for me and my family. Unopposed in the Democratic primary, I received over 95% of the Democratic vote. My opponent on the Republican ticket only received 45% of the vote. The turnout was small, less than 20% district wide and of course, those registered Independent could not vote in the Republican and Democratic primaries.
