False Start: Bucks County tourists battle for Democratic Nomination in PA-08

Well this is a bit awkward.

A month after the DCCC’s handpicked candidate moved to Bucks County to run for Congress, another Democratic candidate is taking him to task for being the handpicked candidate of Washington D.C. Democrats.

That’s right, Shaughnessy Naughton, who just moved from Philadelphia to “the apartment on the side of her parents’ home in Point Pleasant,” is calling out Strouse for just moving to Bucks County from Washington D.C. Meanwhile, both tourist candidates hide behind vanilla websites, hoping to hide their support for Nancy Pelosi’s agenda and her goal of one-party rule in Washington.

Meanwhile, with local Democrats having no idea who Kevin Strouse even is, it looks as though the DCCC should have waited to put Strouse on its “Jumpstart” program; every day it’s looking like their efforts in PA-08 more closely resemble a false start. This sure has all the makings of yet another epic 2014 DCCC fail.

NRCC Comment: “While Kevin Strouse and Shaughnessy Naughton fight to see which Bucks County tourist can help Nancy Pelosi become Speaker of the House in 2014, lifelong Bucks County native Mike Fitzpatrick is working hard for Pennsylvanians to grow the economy and to keep Washington D.C. bureaucrats accountable.” NRCC Spokesman Ian Prior
