Primary 2010 touted as the make or break election


Predictions about this election are reminiscent of Limp Bizkit's song, "He Said, She Said". Perhaps the more intelligent approach in this primary election would be to find out what the candidates have sincerely accomplished.

What makes a candidate worthy of your coveted vote? According to the US Department of Labor, the Pennsylvania unemployment rate sits at 14.3%, placing our state in the Federal Emergency Unemployment category. Each candidate proclaims an interest in keeping and bringing jobs to Pennsylvania. But which ones have stood behind the outsourcing of of Pennsylvanian's jobs?

While unemployment within our state is of utmost importance, Pennsylvania has another huge but rarely reported issue, the Pennsylvania Juvenile Justice system. Has anyone forgotten Luzerne County? The Juvenile Center, located in Philadelphia, is working diligently to ensure that the disgraceful actions that occurred in Luzurene County never happen again. Which candidate is willing to stick their neck out on that issue?
