It looks like the Second District Republicans may give their nomination for the Second District Congressional seat to Janet Peckinpaugh, who was, until recently, an Independent:
Peckinpaugh’s recent switch to the Republican Party shows that “she’s clearly an independent-minded person,” [NRCC spokesman Greg] Blair said. “It sounds like that makes her an interesting fit for the district.”
Well, that’s putting the best face on the Republican situation in the Second CD. There are already three actual Republicans in the race, but none of them reaches the level of mediocre. It bespeaks the bankruptcy of the party in these parts that it jumps at the chance to name a person of unknown but flexible principles in place of anyone it can find in its own ranks. If she is nominated, Peckinpaugh would be the second woman running as a Republican for federal office in this state who would be using the Republican Party as a vehicle to satisfy her personal vanity.
