Former Congresswoman Melissa Hart says she is planning a comeback bid to regain the seat she lost a year ago to Democrat Jason Altmire.

"Obviously, I still have a commitment to public service, despite the elections of last year," Ms. Hart said last night. "I've watched the Congress in action over the last six months and they haven't gotten a thing done and the issues that need to be addressed haven't been addressed."

Ms. Hart has not yet officially announced but has informed the National Republican Congressional Committee as well as the lone announced rival for the GOP nomination, Ron Francis, about her plans.

On Monday she telephoned former Republican gubernatorial candidate Lynn Swann and informed him of her plans. Mr. Swann was being courted by national Republican leaders to challenge Mr. Altmire but notified NRCC officials later this week that he had decided against making the bid.

Let's send her down to defeat again! BTW, I've already seen Almire ads running on early morning news.

2. This was the quote that cracked me up

"I've watched the Congress in action over the last six months and they haven't gotten a thing done and the issues that need to be addressed haven't been addressed."

Wow Missy you must be a blind one aren't ya, it's kinda of hard to get stuff done in DC when YOUR PARTY IS BLOCKING EVERYTHING IN THE SENATE, THREATHENING VETOS IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND COMPLAINING ABOUT EVERYTHING IN THE HOUSE. And now you want me to support you think you'll change that, wrong whore. Jason Altmire is a breath of fresh air in the 4th District and won't do a single thing to screw that up.

4. My son and I did some envelope stuffing and I did some phone calling

and door knocking for Altmire. I also sent his campaign some dough.... a buddy of mine was hosting a fundraiser. I was very glad to see her out, she's so annoying.

:hi:

3. We in the 4th District cleansed ourselves of Hart-less last year

How quickly that virus returned.:puke:

Jason Altmire is much more in line with the constituents of PA-04...Hart is the female Santorum and RW nutjob.

5. And just what the hell did she accomplish when she had her chance?

Incredible! She was a shill for the trampling of the constitution.

6. Altmire was in Tarentum yesterday at Gatto's Hogs Gone Wild Block Party.

The Bike Run was benefitting The Fallen Marine Memorial. The bikers gave money to some families of Marines who were killed in Iraq. KDKA showed some footage of the event last night. I was there today because my son's band was performing.

Altmire really is like a breath of fresh air to District 04. Why on earth would those constituents want Melissa Hart back?

7. I'll be proud to help her lose again

I got a warm and proud feeling when I got a short personal thank you from Jason. I'll find a way to help the fight next time as well.

8. I thought Lynn Swann was gonna run for that seat

Figuring the ass-kicking he got from Ed Rendell wasn't enough

:shrug:
