Delco Democratic Convention
Tonight my son made the poignant observation: “Daddy has too many meetings for the Democrats.” I was at the Delaware County Democratic nominating convention last night. There was a local meeting last week also, so I guess it does seem like a lot.
Not too much to report of general interest from the convention. No floor fights. Bob Brady was there. He spoke for about three minutes. Joe Sestak was there spoke for–er–longer. We heard from Auditor General Jack Wagner. I’ll be darned if he doesn’t have an eye on the Governor’s mansion a few years out.
It doesn’t hold any real significance, but there was a straw poll on the presidential race. I believe the tally reported was Clinton 92, Obama 85, Edwards 12 (despite his pullout earlier in the day). These are your party stalwarts, and there’s not a consensus. (If anybody was there and has corrected/updated numbers, please feel free to chime in.)

Any news on who’s running for the open 162nd PA House seat, to be vacated by Ron Raymond?
Or any other news on DelCo PA House races? My Delaware County info is a little thin so far over at the SE PA candidates list. I couldn’t find coverage of your convention over at DelCoTimes.com (the lack of a Search box may have something to do with it. Oy.)
John DeFrancisco is Democratic Candidate for 162nd Legislative District. Been mentioned many times in Delco Times last few months.
Thanks! If anybody reading this happens to know of his campaign site (or even the name and info on any opponents), that’d be great. Googling him doesn’t work too well as he shares his name with a NY State Senator.
I added some info about Democratic candidate Tom Quinn to your wiki– opposing Bill Adolph in PA-165.
