So many people running for Sal DiMasi's seat, and now, finally, one's a Republican

Good for the republicans, I dont like them but lets have a race! Although I find this comment amusing...

I expect to win. Historically special elections have been significantly more favorable to Republicans in this Commonwealth than have the regularly scheduled elections. The seat is now open due to the resignation, under a cloud, of the former Democratic incumbent. There are already four Democrats in the race -- whoever wins that primary will be badly bruised and at least some supporters of losing Democratic candidates will fail to fall in line and support the winner. There is also an un-enrolled (independent) candidate, so we are looking at a likely three-way race in the final election. None of the candidates have held office before and none can claim more name recognition than I. In the compressed calendar of a special election I can win this race.

My friends I expect to be able to barely squeek out a victory this year and will most likely lose next time around to a unifed democratic party.
