Allegheny County Councilman Turns Self In
| February 19, 2009 | Posted by engagedcitizen under 2007 November General Election, Allegheny-County, Government, Politics, Rant, voting |
News outlets are reporting today that County Councilman Chuck McCullough (R-Upper Saint Clair) has turned himself for the crimes that committed roughly two years ago. As you may recall, McCullough was found to have stolen checks from an elderly client and written contributions to local political campaigns. He was already on the ballot for County…
We Take Care of Our Own
| January 10, 2008 | Posted by engagedcitizen under 2007 November General Election, Government, Pittsburgh, Politics |
The post-gazette reports today that some of those left unemployed by the November elections have nothing to worry about. Thanks to an insiders network, these guys have simply moved from one City branch/department/agency to another. Like in other levels of government, there was no competitive process to fill these jobs (some of which appear to…
Penguins and T-shirts
| January 3, 2008 | Posted by Seenster under 2007 November General Election, Elections, Events |
I am not talking about hockey fans or the ice bowl. Did anyone attend Dan Onorato’s inauguration last night? I just spoke with some attendees who said that there were live penguins walking (and pooping) on the tables and that they were screen printing t-shirts with pictures of Dan Onorato. Friend of P2 had to…

Was Monday Night Football an Ad for Luke?
| November 8, 2007 | Posted by Race for PGH under 2007 November General Election, Blogs, Pittsburgh, Uncategorized |
But I have come across 2 different blog post of non-political bloggers that both noticed that there was a reference to Ravenstahl on Monday night foot ball. One author posted about this on LiveJournal’s Steelers Fan’s page. The other author mentioned this on a blog about Sportscasting – The Sportscasters Talent Agency of America Blog.…
Why yesterday’s election was bad news for Pittsburgh Democrats
| November 8, 2007 | Posted by andrea under 2007 November General Election, ACDC, Elections, Pittsburgh, Rant |
Without going too overboard on our now-elected mayor’s shortcomings (and hey, what human being doesn’t have a few flaws), it seems to me that yesterday’s election proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Pittsburgh Dems could run a stuffed panda bear in the general and beat any candidate the Republicans could offer. I’m with Pittgirl – the old…

A bit presumptious
| November 2, 2007 | Posted by Seenster under 2007 November General Election, Events, Pittsburgh |
Well it looks like Luke is assuming he has already won the race because he is scheduling appearances as mayor for after the election. Since Luke and his staff have already decided that he has been elected, he apparently all ready has a full day of events the Tuesday following the election. Does anyone else…

Thanks to everyone who voted in the last poll. As of today – 80% of Progress Pittsburgh readers are voting for Mark DeSantis on Tuesday. 14% of readers are voting for Ravenstal, 6% for Tony Olivia and 1% for Ryan Scott. We are fairly certain that this poll was not hacked by either campaign.

It is not time for Klein
| October 31, 2007 | Posted by insider under 2007 November General Election, Elections, Endorsements, Pittsburgh |
I have been thinking about who is running a good campaign. I don’t know much about the drink tax issue but I do know that the people who oppose it are running a great campaign. Regardless of who you support for mayor, I give some credit to the DeSantis team for turning a non race…
