An outsider is truly someone we need. I'll take Aichele or Watkins. Anything but Cawley…he's just a political hack backed by the Rendell establishment.
Aichele is the Tax Queen Every year up except this year rigged budget dictated by her political consulant. Hid a 30% tax hike as Controller until after that election. Then there are the conflicts Turnpike under investigation, Williams pipline, shale drilling practice from Hubby's law firm. The D's will have a field day. Scary date for Corbett – why spend all your time defending Aichele's record and conflicts against attacks by Saidel Then the poll numbers and disparity between her and opponents is unbelievable and proves it was rigged. Aichele is not a fiscal conservative She is a freespending anti pro-life RINO. Spector is probably her hero. This poll and press release is a fairy tale. Western caucuses don't be fooled. Google Aichele's bad record and conflicts for yourself. Corbett deserves better
Ask people in Chester County about Carol. We have the lowest taxes in the Southeast. This includes the suburban counties of Bucks, Delaware, Montgomery and those of the Lehigh Valley. We also have the highest bond rating possible thanks to her leadership. You can call her a tax-raiser and a liberal all you want…but her conservative proof is in the pudding. That's why she scores so high in the poll.
For the real Jim Cawley, check this out: http://jrjim.blogspot.com/
get a job…besides pushing your own blog trash.
Here are the facts.
4 years, no tax increases.
pro-life
pro-gun
top vote-getter in Bucks County
Jr…your dad would have called Mr. Cawley a conservative…and, a winner.
"Old-School" or should I say ESTABLISHMENT HACK? I went to Jr Jim and discovered just how Cawley went four years without a tax increase. He borrowed money!!!
Cawley REFUSED to call himself a conservative and said that he was an Obama 'progressive'!!!!
NO REAL pro-lifer would sit down and talk with Planned Parenthood like that liberal Jr Jim Cawley!!!!
Take your establishment hack and we'll pick someone else!
I'm sorry, but I respectfully disagree with you, Record. Ask the people in or close to Tredyffrin Township – where she hails from – and you'll find some not so great opinions about her. Those opinions extend into municipalities next to or close to Tredyffrin, too. I know this, because I live less than a mile from the Tredyffrin township line.
If she's "Chester County's choice" then why in the world isn't she serving in the State Senate right now? I'll tell you why. Because her fellow Democratic County Commissioner beat her by 12 points, 56.2% – 43.8%. 12 Points!
May I also remind you that this election happened a mere 18 months after George W. Bush WON Chester County by 4.5 points, 52% – 47.5%.
That's a 16.5% swing in only 18 months. I'm sorry, but I'm not willing to believe the people who scream that was ALL George Bush's fault. Besides, the last time I checked, George Bush didn't have an impact on state government.
No Democrat had served any significant territory in Chester County in the State Senate for the previous 116 years.
(continued)
Here are the facts:
Jr. voted to raise taxes
Jr. voted for the highest county property tax rate in the 'burbs
Jr. is bought and paid for by the unions
Jr. calls himself a "progressive"
Most people would call Mr. Cawley a big government liberal…and, a loser.
Fast forward 9 months later to the Spring of 2007, and Carol *almost* didn't get endorsed for reelection to her Chester County Commissioner seat in the Republican primary. This alone should show that people in Chester County are NOT happy with her.
Yes, Chester County is a great place to live and work – but Carol isn't solely responsible for all those achievements. There have been numerous other people on the Commissioner's board in the last 10 – 20 years whom have contributed to Chester County being such a great place to live.
I understand that some people feel differently than me – and that's fine.

Fast forward to November of 2007 where she won the general election by 11,000 votes in a 40,000 vote election. That's 25% points above her nearest rival. People like…just take the time to look at how she lead the ballot eight times.
Same is true of Jim Cawley…he lost a State Rep. race in 2000 by over ten points in Republican Bucks.
Watkins is the only one that can lead us to victory.
I'm pro-life and I can vote for Carol Aichele, and here's why-
It's the legislature, not the Lt. Governor, that writes the laws on abortions. Given that abortion is a federal issue, it's specifically members of Congress (House and Senate) you ought to be concerned about.
The Lt. Gov role is largley a parliamentary one, presiding over the State Senate, etc. She won't be making policy, she'll be supporting the Governor's agenda.
Sorry GoldenRam but you are incorrect. The LT Gov. is the tie breaker in the Senate! How critical can you get? Can you imagine some important pro-life legislation coming down to a pro-abort like Achele? I am not willing to take a chance especially when there are so many good pro-life people to choose from and why should you?
Wait a minute GoldenRam I just thought of something even more important. What if – GOD forbid – that something happens to Gov. Rohrer? We would now have a pro-abort Gov!!! Why are you wanting to take a chance on this critical issue?!?
In the 90's she was a founder of a RINO effort to defeat Ronald Reagan like conservative state committee people She dislikes conservatives but hates pro-lifers. She thinks they shouldn't be in her party
It might not always be a federal issue. If Roe v Wade is overturned, the issue goes back to the states.
After Aichele lost that Republican Senate seat to the Dimwit, she should not be taken seriously.
Lies, lies, lies…where's your proof, whack job?

Cawley lost a race to a multi-term incumbent in a district that had a Democratic majority.
Gosh, do any of you kids study history or politics beyond 2008??
No response to those DOZEN reason not to vote for Cawley – just the fact that the establishment hacks are going to shove him down our throats?!
Seriously you establishment people don't have your eyes opened up as a result of Mass.? We are SICK and tired of it and it's BUSINESS as normal – republican or democrat!
Cawley has NEVER worked a day in his adult life in any other job than his government job.
CheckThisOut (and others),
What does Jim Cawley have to do with this? We're supposed to be debating Carol Aichle's record.
I don't know Jim Cawley, or his record. But I do know Carol Aichle's.

Correction on the powers of #2: the individual can vote to break ties on procedural votes, not on bills on final passage.
Hah! Susquehanna was the same outfit that said Tom Ellis could win a Montgomery County Commissioners race in 2007 after he had a protection from abuse order. Of course he ran for statewide office in 2008 (after getting tossed as a commissioner) and got killed. The polls from this outfit have no credibility.
I will NOT vote for anyone pro-abortion – no way!
….out in the hustings, toils the driven and determined….Joe Watkins:

Let's call a spade a spade. Susquehanna polls will put out a poll that makes it say whatever you want it to say. You cough up the money and you'll get the results you want from them. Soon you'll be seeing polls by them that claim Pat is beating Arlen 84% to 6% and Corbett leading by triple digits. They should be treated like a Terry "I call every democrat in Philly" Modonna poll.
No kidding. They also claimed McCain led by 6% in PA.
What is this based on?
you will be calling him Lt. Governor, soon.
Who do you think said this?
"I think that gay men and lesbians are realizing that the party is more than willing to accept them as a member and for them to have a say in the party and ultimately maybe even to become elected officials.”
A). Liberace
B). Elton John
C). Jim Cawley
If you guessed C). Jim Cawley you would be right.
With quotes like this…clearly Jim Cawley is really a liberal, not a conservative.
Don’t believe it… check out the August 3, 2000 edition of World Net Daily. http://70.85.195.205/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=...
It’s a long article, but you will find his quote in the middle.
I don't see what the fuss is all about – this was a hack poll based not on name recognition but on carefully crafted 'profiles' of candidates and with only a select potential opponents. For example, Russ Diamond was not included in this poll; how would a well publicized, award winning candidate for Lt. Gov. affected this poll?
In short, incomplete data reflects in incomplete data.
Shoddy works, folks.
Carol Aichele is a tax-and-spend republican who has been responsible for raising taxes and growing government. As Andy Dinnibum's arch-enemy, the best she could do against Dinnimbum was raise taxes just to silence him.
Carol Aichele voted YES on tax increase every time time. Carol Aichele never voted NO against raising taxes.
She has no experience in business and one only needs to look at her campaign finance reports to see where her money comes from.
Carol Aichele is best described as a political hack doing her well connected husband front work.
Try to talk to this women – it is painful to strike up even a light conversation.
Carol Aichele lost to the "Wizard of OZ", Andy Dinnibum in a special election for State Senate in the republican 19th district.
I here that Dinnibum is waiting to see if Aichele gets the endorsement. If Aichele gets endorsement, Dinnibum will probably run with Onorato.
I won't vote for Corbett if he signals that he wants Aichele.
Why? Because if Corbett selects Aichele it would show me that Corbett has no skills as a leader or as an investigator.
She is also pro-abortion.
Carol Aichele has voted YES to raise taxes EVERY TIME a budget has come up for a vote. Carol Aichele has never voted "no" on a tax increase.
If I am wrong, someone, anyone please prove it to me. No research will ever show that Carol Aichele voted NO on a tax increase.
Carol Aichele is a tax-and-spend RINO, along with her other Chester County cohorts. Republicans in Chester County have always voted to increase taxes.
I will never forget that she increased our taxes by 28% in one year.
Why was there no mention of the only true outsider in the race Steve Johnson? small business owner, soldier, eagle scout, NOT A POLITICIAN!!!!!

He's a first rate guy who, to far too many people, appears not ready to govern….the proof was in the Central Caucus Straw Poll. In his home territory he should have at least made 3rd place behind Bieler and DiFrancesco….he came in under Watkins, and Cawley, who were 3rd and 4th respectively. I believe he only beat Aichele.
the proof a political outsider isn't ready is that the INSIDERS don't accept him?
as far as I'm concerned that just makes him all that much better
Open Primary for LT Gov…LET THE PEOPLE SPEAK
It's Watkins or Kennedy for me
I can't trust Carol Aichele, a candidate that utilizes a push-poll that supplies such erroneous, unrealiable information.
If Carol Aichele would mis-use information to her personal benefit, imagine what she does in her current office, and what she would do as lt. Gov.
I can't wait for Carol Aichele to be our next Lt. Governor! She is awesome!
The questions for this ridiculous poll would make a great script for the soap opera " The Guiding Light".
See questions of poll here, not just the answers the Aichele campaign has released.

Carol Aichele would be bad for the people of Pennsylvania.
Let the dopes in Chester County keep her…that would be their punishment for electing her in the first place.

Corbett hasn't won the race yet and everyone is scrambling for his endorsement! Talk about politics as usual. I'm not letting Corbett or the Republican Party tell me how to vote, not for Governor and not for Lieutenant Governor. My vote will be well thought out about who I think can responsibly govern our State and protect us from the usurping powers of Federal Govt. I'd like to see someone who is not of the establishment and not beholden to special interests hold these offices. So far, Mr. Steve Johnson is the only candidate in either race that fits that description and is completely qualified to hold office. I like that he is an experienced and successful small businessman because it shows me he is willing to take risks and makes good decisions, also shows he knows how to make a budget work. I like it that he has a military background, shows he is willing to fight for this country and also that he can work with others in a chain of command type system and I like it that he is an Eagle Scout as they are really big about HONESTY – so I know he has more instruction than most in that capacity.
It's history. Deal with it.
All those feminazis from Chester County are RINOs….

Anyone have info on Steve Johnson?
