WILKES BARRE CONSPIRACY BUFFS:
THE SKY IS STILL UP THERE

Remember in the summer when City residents were making a big fuss about Tony George’s financial reports? There was even talk of a move to get George off the ballot and replace him with Tom Leighton or some other member of the Democratic Party. Well as of today Tony George is running for Mayor along with Frank Sorick. Check this link out from the Times Leader. http://timesleader.com/news/470199/candidates-for-wilkes-barre-mayor-agree-on-change-differ-on-strategies
The campaign is on, sloppy financial records or not. There are sill things to be heard from the County Election Board but if that body wants to start an electoral crisis then that's on them. Frank Sorick hasn’t made an issue of that and for some that might be enough to get him some votes.
Once more anonymous sources have tried to bedevil the George campaign. Sorick hasn’t bought into it and now we have a chance for a true debate as to where Wilkes Barre. In the meantime, if you are a resident of Wilkes Barre, start studying the issues and pick your candidate.

CARSON ALMOST TIES TRUMP IN POLLS

A new poll out suggests Donald Trump appears to be losing some luster off of his vaunted Presidential campaign. “The Donald” now is running even at about 20% with Ben Carson. What is hard to understand is how to polar personality opposites can get so much traction with disaffected voters. 

ANDY IS DANDY!!!

That's a pretty hefty price tag for that fundraiser. I guess Pop wants to get some of his outlay back from the last election

Because we feel used, betrayed and pissed off by the current crop of the usual politicians.

If you add up Trump, Carson, Fiorina, and Cruz almost 7 out of 10 Republican voters are choosing "outsiders".
