‘Unknown’ Candidate Pennacchio Shows Strength

March 9th, 2006 by PapaSkaroff

Here comes Pennacchio: At its annual endorsement meeting Saturday in preparation for this spring’s primary election, the Bucks County Democratic Committee reflected a growing recognition of progressive U.S. Senate candidate Chuck Pennacchio. Pennacchio, a Bucks resident whose name has been unknown to most Pennsylvanians, garnered a surprising 47% of the vote, nearly edging out major player and conservative candidate Bob Casey Jr. with 52%.

The winner of the May 16 primary will face NeoCon Rick Santorum in the general election next November.
