Pat Meehan Hits Choppy Water

Pat Meehan, has he opened a door for Casacio?

Pat Meehan Hits Choppy Water — Incumbent Pennsylvania Congressman Pat Meehan expected smooth sailing in his cuddly customized 7th District cocoon but he has hit some chop.

His opponent in the April 26 Republican primary, Montgomery County businessman Stan Casacio, got the endorsement of the Berks County Republican Committee in late February.

Granted the Berks section is but a small part of the district but it is worth noting that its Republican leaders are obviously unsatisfied with the representation they are receiving from Meehan.

More damning, though, is the revelation reported by Philly.com on  March 4 that Philadelphia Democrats are  big backers of Meehan.

As per the article: Mainstream Democratic fundraisers like union leader John J. Dougherty and national fundraiser-lawyers Alan C. Kessler, Bill Leonard and Mark Alan Aronchick are joining GOP leaders Vito Canuso and Pat Deon in raising piles of cash for incumbent Republican U.S. Rep. Patrick Meehan, R-7th.

 

So, what’s up with that Pat? If the GOP rank and file learn of this, the cost will be far greater than any benefit this support provides. You might have even opened the door for a Casacio win, something we would not have thought possible two months ago.
