Dan DeMarco's First TV Ad

Dan DeMarco is a Democrat running for the State Senate from Pennsylvania's 40th District as a write-in candidate. Normally, someone running as a write-in against an incumbent is pretty much a joke, but in this case [D'oh! Of course, Dan was a write-in for the primary and won the right to be on the ballot in the general.] his opponent is the criminally-indicted Jane Orie and Dan's chances are looking good.

Here's his first TV commercial:


You can show Dan some love here or you can leave the election up to the "angel lady."

The Orie Sisters: The gift that keeps on giving!

Via the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:

State Sen. Jane Clare Orie and her sister state Supreme Court Justice Joan Orie Melvin turned to a clairvoyant to foretell the outcome of their effort to head off a grand jury investigation that ultimately snared the senator.

[snip]

The other-worldly interlude involving spirits occurred in November of last year. An account of the incident is tucked deep inside a collection of affidavits entered as evidence in the case against Ms. Orie.

The "angel lady," as she was referred to in several spots, was consulted for advice about the outcome of a meeting between Robert Kramm, described by prosecutors as a political consultant with the Laborers' District Council of Western Pennsylvania, and Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen A. Zappala Jr., whose office continues to investigate the Orie sisters.

According to sources close to the case, the sisters sought advice from Carolann Sano of Philadelphia, a self-described "clairaudient," who says she can channel messages from spirit guides -- she refers to them as angels. Ms. Sano says that when she receives a question from a client, she speaks it aloud and hears the answer whispered into her right ear.

More here.

NOTE: A reminder that Sen. Orie is not running unopposed.
