Luke Ravenstahl (D) wins mayor race in Pittsburgh. He said that guys like him give the Democrats a bad name.

5. I wish I could have my friend plead his case, because we talked about so many things,
but the mayor had done dumb things like taking a Homeland Security vehicle meant for emergencies to a concert. He made a statement something like, "if you were my age you would do it too."

6. When I was a senior in High School, I was more mature than this...
as a matter of fact, I was extremely mature, more like a middle aged adult.

2. I read that he's young and immature.
Is that true.

4. As the Republican party crumbles into dust this is something we're going to have to start looking at
Edited on Tue Nov-06-07 11:02 PM by Mojambo
Lots of candidates who normally would be with the GOP are going to start squeezing into the (big) Democratic tent on the sly.

That said, I know nothing about this Ravenstahl chap...
