I did my roundup of Delco council election news on Wednesday night, only to discover that the Inquirer ran an article the next day about how David Landau’s aggressive campaign for Delaware County Council is pressuring the GOP. A couple key passages stand out.

The only thing missing from the Delco2007.com site seems to be the word Republican.

Unlike Landau and O’Keefe, whose sites prominently identify them as Democrats, the three Republicans do not use their party affiliation. They are described as “independent and experienced.”

Strange for endorsed candidates who control all five council seats and every row office to conceal their party affiliation.

Like my piece did, the Inky picked up on the attempt to increase Landau’s negatives by tagging him as an “ACLU lawyer”:

“He is an ACLU lawyer,” McGarrigle said in an interview. “Lawyers like that tend to care more about criminals and cop killers than residents of Delaware County.”

When asked, McGarrigle could not cite anything specific in Landau’s background to support the accusation.

Sensing the barbarians at the gate, the GOP ticket announced today that they’re setting a combined goal of 10,000 door knocks.
