Winners

Losers

Bob Regola

Cleared of all criminal charges. That helps the re-election hopes.

Wally Edge

I anticipated Veon being indicted in Bonusgate so kept him off, but still a loser for not anticipating PJ Lavelle would be indicted when I submitted the Power 50 list.

Jeff Piccola

Has long been a champion of ethics and gets to shine in calling for special session on reform.

Bill DeWeese

Pressure starting to mount from his own caucus for him to resign his leadership position.

Phil English

Put plenty of distance between himself and Dahlkemper.

Democratic reformers crashing Capitol steps

The wanna-be representatives call for bipartisan reform, but forget to be bipartisan about it. And as John Micek pointed out most of their “issues” were not really issues.

Glenn Thompson

There was question after the primary if he could raise money. While he didn’t light the world on fire, he did enough to separate from McCracken.

Beaver County Democrats

Sean Ramaley decides he is going to stay in the race, despite being indicted in Bonusgate.

Patrick Murphy

If this congressional thing doesn’t work out you can always get a job as a fundraiser.

PA-05 Democrats

They picked McCracken the one time in history when PA-05 may have had a chance to go Democratic.

Rick Taylor

After the Montgomery County Republicans try to link him to Bonusgate, he is quick to get in front of the issue and seeks to ban bonuses.

Kathy Dahlkemper

She makes news as possibly being added to the DCCC Red-to-Blue program then fails to translate that into campaign cash.

Lou Barletta

The DCCC launches attack adds which means he is doing something right.

Tom Manion and Marina Kats

Wikipedia determines they are not important enough to have their own pages.

Tom Corbett

With the positive press that continues to follow Bonusgate and with the likely Republican indictments coming later this summer, it makes it hard for Morganelli to attack him with any credibility.

Barack Obama

There are dozens of quality Democratic operatives in the state and he decides he needs to bring someone from the outside to run operations.
