1. Ron Klink, IIRC... n/t

2. Ron Klink.

Former TV newscaster. Pro-choice Dem. Apparently he had little name recognition outside of Pittsburgh area. Not much money either.

I found this info on him:

3. pro-life democrat, I think.... n/t

[Bunny]

5. Yeah, you're right. He was/is pro-life.

I screwed that up! :spank:

[Harry S Truman]

4. Ron Klink

Klink is more centrist that lib., actually a conservative Dem in many ways, He kicked Santorum's ass in the debate, had good gun-guy ratings, but the media was too busy fawning over Jesus Santorum. Next time, Rick is in serious trouble, however.

[Joy Anne]

6. Welcome, Harry

Conservative Democrat IMHO, too much so to get traction beyond anybody-but-Santorum, which wasn't as strong then as it is now.

[Lugnut]

9. Hi Harry!

:hi:

"Next time, Rick is in serious trouble, however."

From your lips, Harry. :)

[The Zanti Regent]

7. Klink also endorsed Specter this time

disgusting POS

[IronLionZion]

8. Klink is like Zell Miller

I think he even endorsed Bush over Kerry, and Specter over Hoeffel

[PittPoliSci]

10. who cares who he endorsed?

he's out of the picture for any seat now anyway.

[IrishDemocrat]

11. Zig Zag

I hate those types of Democrats even more than some Greens. I could agree with Casey, but endorsing Bush and Specter would not be worth it.

[Freddie Stubbs]

12. Stop posting lies!

He did not endorse Bush.

[DaveinMD]

13. Klink lost because he couldn't raise money

liberal donors stayed away in droves because of social conservatism. I really miss Harris Wofford.
