Re: Murphy Snatches Evidence of Campaign Work from Reporter
Wow, we’re lucky KDKA had the foresight to counter Murphy’s ingenious move by making copies!
Hafer could have won this seat. Instead the D’s have a candidate without a pulse. I’ll remember that if Hafer explores another U.S. Senate run in 2010.
Re: Murphy Snatches Evidence of Campaign Work from Reporter
Hafer lives in Indiana, Pa, now and I think she was there when the Dems were recruiting her. Stan Savarn was the guy they really wanted, but he decided not to run after a long courtship.
Chad Kluko’s an earnest challenger – he got the P-G’s endorsement, but this CD was written off early. But you never know, Murphy’s not all that well-liked in his district and if Rendell’s GOTV pulls out enough straight D ticket voters, there could be an upset.
Re: Murphy Snatches Evidence of Campaign Work from Reporter
What you see here is the REAL Tim Murphy, a long-standing petulant, arrogant pol who clearly has, shall we say, “issues.” Maybe it’s best that Stan didn’t go after him this time out…as it appears he is headed for a long and testy battle over his misdeeds. This footage alone could sink his chances for re-election in two years. Wouldn’t you like to include it in the first negative ad you ran against him?
What is shows is that Murphy isn’t even smart enough to know how to “appear” on camera. Snatching those papers from Sheehan speaks volumes, as viewers had to think; “What is this jerk so afraid of? What is he hiding?”
Here’s what I find particularly funny; This guy is a child psychologist. Do you think that means (in reality) that he’s a a psychologist who acts like a child?
Tim The Dim…it’s just a matter of time.

Re: Murphy the psychologist
Given how Murphy has behaved and the reported staff turnover, one wonders just how many parents would take their kids or themselves to him for psychological help. I don’t think I would.
Re: Murphy the psychologist
I’ve met Tim many times…and I wouldn’t want to be in a room
alone with him…much less let him talk to my child!
This guy is the ultimate empty suit. I think Stan Savran may
take it to Tim next time around…and that’s only (really) a year
from now.
Savran, though known in Pittsburgh as a sport talk guy on radio and
TV is extremely bright, well-read and articulate. He could rip Murphy
apart with enough money and the right campaign.
