This race is going to be over before it even starts. Democrat A.G. wannabe John Morganelli – he lives to run for statewide office – once he considered running for L.G., and now 3 times he’s attempted for A.G. – has finally jumped the shark. Blog chatter on this story is slow, but hopefully will pick up soon enough. From the AP:
Attorney General Tom Corbett is heading into the general election cycle with more than $1.1 million to spend on his re-election campaign, including a $100,000 contribution from a cigar maker scion and part-owner of the Philadelphia Phillies.
The figures are from the campaign finance reports that Corbett, along with every other candidate for a state office, was required to file with the state elections bureau by the end of Thursday.
The reports cover the five weeks through May 12.
Corbett, a Republican, is running against Democrat John Morganelli, the Northampton County district attorney. Morganelli said he had about $618,000 to spend.
“We’re pleased with where we’re at,” Morganelli said. “I think it will be competitive.”
