Sometimes the conspicuous is not-so-conspicuous until it's pointed out.
In politics, it's acceptable -- expected -- for sitting politicians to support each other for re-election. It's not so acceptable to publicly support a primary challenger. The party sees it as distasteful.
Does Jim Gregory enjoy the public support of any of his General Assembly peers for re-election? No, he does not.
Former State Sen. Eichelberger and former State Rep. McGinnis, free from unwritten party rules, are publicly supporting Gregory's opponent, Scott Barger.
Maybe Gregory's peers won't endorse him because he has clearly demonstrated, time and again, that he is solidly in the Democrat wing of the Republican Party?
I find Scott Barger to be conservative, genuine, principled and the obvious choice to represent PA's 80th District, but don't take my word for it. Listen to the deafening silence of Gregory's peers. That's really all you need to know.
