As you are probably well aware, in my last blog i endorsed Tim Holden (D) over challenger Shelia Dow-Ford (D) in the Districts Democratic Primary.
The polls are showing a though but likely win for State Sen. David Argall(R)if the polls are accurate and the election were held today, with Ryan Frank(R) campaign right behind him. Both of these candidates bring great aspects to run against Inc. Rep Tim Holden(D). Although it is easy for someone to get caught up in the numbers games right away, i am trying to separate Speculation and polls, in order to Support and endorse the candidate i think is best for this District, Pennsylvania, and the United States of America collectively.
During the Presidential Republican Primary i was in the same boat, When the media was battling between Sen. McCain and Gov Romney i wasn't satisfied with either candidate, and stood by Gov Huckabee until the very end. I find myself in a similar situation. Backing the candidate who is polled in 3rd place among registered voters, and is within an arms race in this competitive race. At this point i am confident that either Republican candidate who is able to finish on top of the primary will be strong enough to go against the Democrat favorite Rep Tim Holden competitively, and be capable of defeating Shelia Dow-Ford in a hypothetical match up.
As a Christian i think it is really important that we put in candidates into Office who put both politics and religion aside in order to just get done on their face and give every day to God. Someone who believes Government is important, but not the absolute solution. Someone who will pray for the people of the nation, rather than limit and prevent others from doing so.
My #1 issue as a voter has been: Abortion. I proudly endorse ALLEN GRIFFITH for PA-17 congressional district. He respects all life, and loves all people with God's love. And as a sign to my support and loyalty, I have volunteered for his campaign.
Although i am aware that is possible that Allen Griffith may not win the primary, i am hoping that he will get the exposure he needs in order to win, but if this doesn't happen i am willing to support the candidate who does.
