It looks like Pat Meehan will be the GOP nominee in 2010 for the seat being vacated by Congressman Joe “I Believe The World’s Burning To The Ground” Sestak (D-Pa.7).
Craig Williams, the ’08 nominee, has endorsed Meehan and said he will work hard for him. Meehan was the federal prosecutor responsible for Philadelphia and its eight surrounding counties from Sept. 17, 2001 until July 15, 2008 when he left for the law firm of Conrad O’Brien Gellman & Rohn.
The was speculation he was going to try for governor.
Meehan was nationally recognized for his prosecutions involving corruption during the Mayor John Street administration in Philadelphia.
Before becoming a U.S. District Attorney, Meehan, 53, of Drexel Hill, was the Delaware County District Attorney with his highest profile cases the prosecutions of John DuPont for the murder of Olympic wrestler David Schultz in Newtown Square and Arthur Bomar for the murder of Aimee Willard in Marple. Both murders occurred in 1996.
Meehan was a star hockey player at Bowdoin College and was a NHL official for two years.
Frankly, I would have preferred Williams but Meehan is fine.
Frankly, considering the mess the Democrats are making of things, I think I would vote for Triumph the Insult Dog over anyone who would give Nancy Pelosi two more years as Speaker of the House.
