Republican leaders fall

Republican leaders in Pennsylvania and voters are stunned that the Rethugs got tossed out on their arses in the primary.

Yep, the people are getting sick of the Greedy Old Pukes.

Republican leaders fall:

"HARRISBURG -- In stunning upsets, the state Senate's two top-ranking Republicans were defeated last night in fierce primary challenges fueled by anger over last year's legislative pay raises.

Senate Pro Tem Robert Jubelirer, a 32-year Senate veteran, lost to longtime political foe John Eichelberger, a Blair County commissioner. Mr. Jubelirer conceded at 10:55 p.m. with votes still rolling in. He had 8,057 votes to Mr. Eichelberger's 10,084, or 45 percent to 36 percent, with 66 percent of precincts reporting. C. Arnold McClure, a newspaper publisher, had 4,223 votes, or 19 percent, in the three-way race.

Majority Leader David Brightbill, of Lebanon, lost to former Lebanon City Councilman Mike Folmer. Early results, including 65 percent of precincts, showed Mr. Folmer with 10,757 votes, or 65 percent, and Mr. Brightbill with 5,850, or 35 percent.

The results stunned observers and candidates alike."
