Walker denies burglary, stalking charges
By Alex Isenstadt, Politicker.com ReporterFifth district Republican Congressional candidate Derek Walker says that the burglary and stalking charges against him are false.
"These charges are false. The entire matter is politically motivated -- any thinking citizen in our area understands that charges of this nature brought 5 days before an election are clearly motivated by politics," Walker said in a statement,
“I have never had a conservation or been questioned by the DA or any representative from his office. I am confident that the residents of our region will see this entire matter for what it is -- politics at its worst."

Did you ever consider that
Did you ever consider that the front runners were set up to wipe each other out for someone else’s benefit. A Potter County newspaper explored Peterson’s implied need for negative campaigning for the candidate he endorsed. Is that somehow behind this nuclear war between the two top contenders? Is No. 3 next? I think there’s more to this than meets the eye, especially since Peterson and Scarnati are on the outs. According to the article in this week’s Potter Leader-Enterprise, Peterson asked several candidates about the skeletons in their closets giving the impression that he would possibly endorse them. All you had to do here was to get one of these top candidates to push the button, knowing the other would have to respond. Think about it.
