Memories of Da 'Burgh

By Jim Dallas

In a strange coincidence, Kos made a slight boo-boo in a post today:

Rep. Bobby Bonilla (R) is eyeing a Senate run if Kay Bailey Hutchinson retires to run for governor, as expected. That would open up a congressional seat that has narrowly elected Bonilla in several past elections.

Meanwhile, the DSCC's and Ed Rendell's top choice to challenge Santorum next year, Bob Casey Jr., met with party leaders in DC to discuss the race. Democrats want Santorum out in the worst way -- the number one target, in fact -- and feel that Casey's popularity in PA will give them the best chance for success.

In my previous post I made a subtle joke about Bobby Bonilla, the retired baseball player. Why? Because Bobby Bo was one of the stars of the Pittsburgh Pirates in the late 1980s (along with Barry Bonds).

I lived in Pittsburgh for a few years, and I was a huge Pirates fan.

Incidentally, during the same time Bob Casey Sr. was governor of Pennsylvania, and I remember him being in the news a lot.

Almost brings a tear to my eye, all these childhood memories.
