PA-13: Authorities Widen Search Area for Marjorie Margolies
The mystery continues in the search for congressional candidate Marjorie Margolies.

She was last seen at a fundraiser in mid-February.

PA-8: DCCC and EMILY’s List Fight Over Who Should Lose to Fitzpatrick
Two of the nation’s top Democratic campaign organizations are engaged in a pitched battle in Pennsylvania’s 8th congressional district. EMILY’s List, which advocates for pro-choice female candidates, is going head-to-head with the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, over which candidate should lose to Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick (R-Bucks) in the fall.
An EMILY’s List spokeswoman enthusiastically touted businesswoman Shaughnessy Naughton. “We are completely confident that with Shaughnessy we can get within eight, maybe even six, points of electing a female PA representative,” she said.
The DCCC is standing firmly behind its candidate, ex-Army Ranger Kevin Strouse.
“We still believe we have a candidate in Kevin that can get 45, perhaps as much as 46 percent of the vote against Mike Fitzpatrick,” said a DCCC spokesman.
The Fitzpatrick campaign declined to comment but noted that the Congressman intends to hold a telephone town hall sometime in the next eighteen months.

PSEA Withdraws McCord Endorsement
In a surprising reversal Tuesday, the Pennsylvania State Educators Association pulled its endorsement of Rob McCord for Governor.
“We thought he was an OK candidate. He was funny and interesting, and fun to be around,” said PSEA President Mike Crossey. “But after the endorsement, he was like a totally different person. He started calling all the time, showing up to our regional meetings, that kind of thing.”
“He even asked us for money.”
Crossey said McCord’s TV ads were the last straw.
“Have you seen his ads? It’s like he’s never gotten another endorsement before. Awkward.”
