Warreen Kampf is by far the better candidate. Town halls, educational meetings on the Pension crisis in PA and many other reasons. Paul Druker just wants to raise taxes or install tolls on 422 to raise the cost of living and doing business in our back yard. Vote for Warren.

Warren also sponsored seminars on Retirement planning and Saving for college. I'm personally not doing enough of either. The seminars were great. Warren is doing good things for Phoenixville and Pennsylvania. Thanks Warren.

So great - we've got two Chester County Republican Committee members piping up about what a hot guy Warren Kampf is. Of course, they don't identify themselves as such, leaving casual readers to believe they're just regular, run-of-the-mill voters. And then to top it all off, one of them is telling lies about Paul Drucker. Truth is, Kampf has been in over his head since the day he was elected, and the fact that he is joined at the hip with this failure of a Governor and his "let them frack the whole state for free" philosophy, along with the Voter ID fiasco, should give you all you need to know about which guy to vote for.

I can speak up for the non committee members to say that I am voting for Warren. He has proven that he understands the challenges that face our state through his informative and FACT driven town halls. Kampf's actions since he has been in office also show that he is willing to tackle the difficult problems (pension reform) and stand alone on issues if necessary.

I'm still undecided in this race. I hope Patch will feature some q and a by the candidates, or that they will debate the issues in the Phoenixville area at some point.

I love that right wing nuts stacked the online poll. Too bad they will end up on the losing side in the REAL vote on November 4th (mainly by riding the wave of people voting for Obama).

Richard, you've got a good point - Drucker won due to turnout in 2008 and when turnout dropped in 2010, he lost. Turnout will again be in his favor this time. Another point that doesn't get talked about too much - if the SC upholds this ridiculous VoterID scam, it's liable to backfire badly on Repubs out here in the burbs. While it plainly disenfranchises the poor and the elderly in cities, the only voters that will probably get caught in 157th will be old-timers; there just aren't a significant number of poverty-level residents out here. And of the senior citizens who may be affected, I think you'll see a large percentage of them are Republican, so we'll be eliminating their Kampf support. And unlike Democrats, I haven't seen a single word from the Republican side saying that they're going to lift a finger to help voters show up with proper ID on Election Day. Definitely something to keep an eye on.

Bruce you got a lot of wishful thinking going on. People have ID out here. More and more people on poverty out here thanks to the Progressive agenda and the Dems in DC with all the give away programs. The only thing the Dems did was voice opposition and encourage people to NOT get IDs so the narrative played out as they claimed. Sorry with so much time this again just another invented false message.

Bruce - yes, I'm a committee man. Your assertion that you haven't seen anything about getting ID from the republicans is completely false. I know personally I have been education people about the law. It was trialed in the primary with success. It is all over every government and voter assistance website. There are even posters in government offices, the DMV, etc. If anyone shows up without ID there is a process for them to vote. Its a non-issue but if you want to keep harping on it then feel free.

Bruce - How many doors have you knocked on, calls made? You are counting on your paid union buds walking the streets to get out the vote while people like Jeff and thousands of others are putting in the time on their own dime.

Ok we will be crushed. That WAS the position of the Democrat party "Don't get an ID". It is a fact, go check it out. Try to dispense with the standard name calling. I know Progressives think it works but really it simply shows a lack of knowing the issue. If the Democrats have changed thier earlier position good. Everyone who is capable and is identified as being real should be able to vote.

Brian, it's so hard to tell if you just didn't understand what I posted, or if you are deliberately twisting it. But regardless, my prediction stands - if Voter ID is still in place on Election Day, Kampf will lose more votes than Drucker because of it. And that's because Democrats are working MUCH harder with their registered senior citizens to make sure that they have an acceptable ID; I see no signs that Republicans are even aware of how much this new law could affect their own voters. And Jeff - what name calling? If you mean the line where I referred to both you AND me as "loudmouths", I think anybody who posts more than a couple of times in these comments gets to wear that tag -- please lighten up and don't be so sensitive. And I'd like to see your proof that the Democratic Party (it's DemocratIC Party, please get it right and don't try to mimic Rush LImbaugh and the rest of those...loudmouths; I am a Democrat, I support the Democratic Party. Got it?) ever told people "Don't get an ID." That is simply false information, and you should be ashamed of yourself for spreading it.

@phoenixvillepatch....Did Mr. Kampf ever respond to the questions we posed in here like Mr. Drucker did?

Kampf responded, and was happy to do it, but not enough readers posed questions to make it worthwhile. I'll be trying again soon, I expect.

I am a libertarian and I have major complaints vs. both political parties. Both have overpromised and overpsent especially on a national level. But I will be voting for Kampf this time. Drucker believes that over taxing responsible people and giving the money to irresponsible people constitutes " fairness". The fact that Drucker is a trial lawyer is certainly another reason to vote against him.

"A Return to Fairness": the single worst campaign slogan. Ever.
