From the Campaign Trail

I'm disappointed that I haven't been able to give analysis the last few days, but I've been criss-crossing the Delaware Valley filming for the documentary. And I mean criss-crossing. We've driven to Princeton and then back to Delaware County. We've gone to Bristol and then Medford, NJ. We were in East Brunswick and then went to Glenmoore, PA. We've met some great candidates. Dee Adcock and Scott Sipprelle are good guys and great candidates running in districts that are somewhat Democratic, but not so Democratic that they can't be taken. It'll take a lot of momentum for either to win, but they've been working very hard.

Pat Meehan and Mike Fitzpatrick are running in districts that are more favorable but are still slightly Democratic. We've seen all of Fitzpatrick's operation from the office volunteers to the people manning the call centers. I spoke with Mike yesterday and feel like he gets it. The Meehan people have been friendly but... well... paranoid. Based on how ugly the campaign has been, can you blame them? We hope to meet Meehan today.

Jon Runyan's people have kept us at arm's length because Runyan is the subject of another documentary. Jim Gerlach? Where's Jim Gerlach? Our attempts to find him have been in vain. We've heard rumors he is running for re-election.
