Bucks candidate can stay on ballot, judge rules

More ballot shenanigans defused (via Atrios):

Bucks candidate can stay on ballot, judge rules

A Commonwealth Court judge ruled yesterday that Democratic congressional candidate Patrick J. Murphy can remain on the Bucks County primary ballot.
Murphy, a lawyer and Iraq war veteran, is running against Andrew Warren, a former Bucks County commissioner, for the nomination in the Eighth District. The winner of the May 16 primary will face Rep. Michael G. Fitzpatrick in November.

1. Did the DEVIL make Faust do it????

The challenge to Murphy's nominating petitions was filed by Doylestown attorney Lawrence M. Otter on behalf of Bensalem resident Jane Faust. They argued that Murphy violated the law when he failed to witness each of 96 signatures on one petition. Murphy had signed an affidavit stating otherwise....

They must be scared shitless of this guy to try to bounce him with that horsepoop effort. If there's a decent Irish population in the district, a Murphy is as good a Fitzgerald if people are inclined to vote ethnically. And a Democrat War vet beats a chickenhawk GOP clown any day of the week.
