Peter Jackson's retraction...
Note: I will be writing a bit of a recap entry regarding the Pennacchio event on Friday night. I'm trying to hold off until Monday though.Peter Jackson (the AP reporter) redeems himself somewhat in my eyes today, as I have come across an article he wrote recently re: Casey's abortion stance.
Despite Rendell's attempts to clean house, at least one candidate who favors abortion rights has vowed to compete against Casey in the primary — Charles F. "Chuck" Pennacchio, 45, a history professor at The University of the Arts in Philadelphia. A longtime Democratic organizer, Pennacchio has not run for office before but said his campaign has raised about $25,000 so far.
While Pennacchio's campaign is more about using the power of the Internet and low-key "meet-ups" with the candidate to promote grass roots activism within the party, a spokesman said Pennacchio definitely will raise the subject of abortion in the primary campaign.
"It's an issue that voters in the Democratic primary are concerned about," said the spokesman, Tim Tagaris, citing Senate Democrats' efforts to block judicial nominees who oppose abortion.
Small steps!
