Arlen Specter finally out of the closet

These days the idea of moderates in either party seems shocking. Politicians get more radio/TV and print time for making wildly polarizing statements. For example, the Unsigned Vote had a post about just such a polarizing statement and character in Daryl Metcalfe last week.

The Dirt Starts Flying

The Specter camp is putting some blame for the current financial situation on Toomey's shoulders. With the Republican primary over a year away, Specter's… Continue

A Look At Philadelphia's Nutty Budget

With Philadelphia running a budget deficit of nearly $1 billion in the next five years, there has been a lot of nervous talk about how Mayor Michael Nutter is going to come up with the missing money. A budget proposed last year had planned on closing fire houses, pools and libraries all around the city. The community reaction was not pretty.

Myles Aion replied to Myles Aion's discussion 'CAMPAIGN WATCH: 2010'
Pennsylvania's 6th congressional district has been hard-won for the GOP since 2002, and this may be the year the dems take it back. Congressman Jim Gerlach had to wrestle victory in the Philadelphia suburbs district from Dan Wofford, then Lois…

Myles Aion replied to Myles Aion's discussion 'CAMPAIGN WATCH: 2010'
Today we look towards the left, at the moment the less interesting side of the campaign aisle. With so much speculation and excitement over the Republican Senate primary, little attention has been paid to which Democrats will be running for the…

In an effort to create an open and comfortable atmosphere here on the Unsigned Vote, we like to thank those who support an air of cooperation.
