Thank you Jim Matthews for making this possible.
This guy should be dead and buried on a political island somewhere. Instead he's been grabbing headlines for 2 years thanks to turncoat Jim Matthews.
Does anyone really think this clown has a chance statewide?
No surprise, just disgust. Another loser who won't go away.
Chris, I'm disappointed… you didn't post the signature Hoeffel picture with his bullhorn.
Jim Matthews
With statewide experience like Matthews, you do not need his advice.
That is a classic. When I hear Hoeffel's name, I think of him with the bullhorn.
Don't take Hoeffel lightly. Montgomery County has the third highest concentration of Democrats in Pennsylvania and Hoeffel represented Northeast Philadelphia in Congress. He would be formidable in a Democratic primary and could end up being the nominee.
If he's the nominee he wins Montgomery County overwhelmingly in a General Election if the opposition is a Republican from outside Southeast PA.
My point is this guy shouldn't be a credible candidate for anything. Instead he's using his deal with Jim Matthews as proof that he's more effective then anyone else running. All those headlines he's gotten with Matthews handing over control of Montco to him has made this possible.
Amazing how Republicans keep doing this to themselves (I know Matthews isn't really a Republican).
I agree he is credible plus he has ran statewide already and has what one could say is base of 45% already
Sadly Hoeffel does look like a formidable candidate (and yes, we can thank Benedict Matthews for helping this along). Though I imagine their state-level higher ups would oppose this. With Sestak-Specter it would give them a SEPA/SEPA Senate-Gov combination. Not sure how well that would play instate, and I think they realize that.
Remember this is the same clown who could not beat Specter in his home county.
From bad with Rendell to "Awful" with Hoeffel…
If he does decide, God forbid, to run for Governor, I wonder if that has any effect on Castor's decisions about running for the 24th Senate seat.
Ryan, that was six years ago. Montgomery County had 75,000 more Republicans than Democrats back then.
They have 28,000 more Democrats than Republicans now. Hoeffel will win Montco huge in a General Election if he's the nominee.
I am for Corbett, but I would love to see Castor / Hoeffel duke it out at the state level.

What a load of crap. A blog claiming three county chairs are for Mensch with no source, no citations, no confirmations. No one named. what a joke. Who do they think they're fooling?
More Asher drivel.
Just because people are no longer registered as republicans does not mean that they vote for someone like Hoeffel.
(in his run against Specter, I did encourage pubbies to vote for Hoeffel just to get rid of Specter once and for all. I don't see that anything would have changed if Hoeffel had been elected instead of Specter.)
See what having Rendell in office has done?
Talk about lowering the bar, he has been so bad (and gotten away with it) that now even the likes of Hoeffel believes that he is qualified to be governor.
You are right Ray… ballot splitting occurs all over the place in this state.
Corbett came 2000 votes short of winning Montco in 2008. He would have won if not for the Obama tsunami. Republicans still hold a majority of the legislative seats too.
Yet another example of the Peter Principle at work … it never fails, especially when ambitious leftist politicos are involved. The only reason (repeat the ONLY reason) why Hoeffel seeks office is to advance the socialist economic agenda of organized labor, and the social agenda of his, the Commun, er, the Democratic Party.
Hoeffel would win Montco by big margins against Corbett or Meehan. At least 10 points. It's not just the voter registration, it's the voting trends, the people they put in office. People like Josh Shapiro, Daylin Leach, Mike Gerber, Rick Taylor.
Hoeffel would win big down here.
