Read all about it: Pennsylvania’s liberal Republican leadership suffered serious losses in primaries yesterday, in a backlash against those who voted themselves unconstitutional pay hikes last year. Among the losers: Senate Majority Leader David J. “Chip” Brightbill, Senate President Pro Tempore Bob Jubelirer, and 12 House members.
Jubelirer denies that the pay hike was to blame. He said, “It’s everything,” including the Iraq war, gas prices, and immigration. I’m going to go out on a limb and say politics are a bit more local than that.
