We've got the rundown on the local delegates going to each party's convention.
The polls have all reported in and while there wasn't much of a contest anywhere on the board in our area (except for the special election in the 153rd to fill Josh Shapiro's vacated seat), folks have been wondering who we'll be sending to the national conventions to represent the parties locally this year. Keep in mind these results are unofficial. Here's the rundown: Republicans The Republicans in District 13 (which includes Norristown and parts of East Norriton) were looking for three names for the convention in Tampa Bay, Florida in August. They were asked to pick three delegates and three alternates. The top three delegates were William E. Donnelly, Thomas Jay Ellis and Michael J. McMonagle. The top three alternates were Agnes …

Local political blogger Joe "The Nerd" Ferraro thinks former Senator Rick Santorum has a chance at doing a victory dance in the Republican endzone.

From Joe "The Nerd" Ferraro's blog on The Huffington Post: This is a contrary view, but Rick Santorum wins the GOP nomination. You can make an analogy that Rick Santorum, the Pittsburgh Penguin, scored a hat trick on Tuesday night with victories in Colorado, Minnesota, and Missouri. Seeing pictures of both the Linux Penguin and the former junior senator from Pennsylvania (never got to the senior prom) has convinced me if they were not separated at birth – there are genetic components in play. But I think that giving him the name Pittsburgh Stealer may be a more proper description. (God, I hope the rest of the country does not blame the Philly area for this guy.) He is about to steal the nomination from Mitt Romney. It really doesn't take a…

The company that owns the rights to Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger" said the presidential candidate did not have permission to use it when he visited the Moose Lodge.
Newt Gingrich played to a packed house when he visited Doylestown in September, but now he's being sued for what he played. Rude Music Inc., owned by a member of the band Survivor, is suing the Republican presidential candidate for playing "Eye of the Tiger" as he strode into the Oscar Martin room of the Doylestown Moose Lodge. The company filed the lawsuit Monday in federal court in Chicago, according to the Chicago Tribune. The suit cites Gingrich's own website as proof that he used the song at his appearance in Doylestown, according to Fox News. Rude Music claims Gingrich also used the song without permission at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference in 2010 and at the Conservative Political Action Conference in 2009, 2010 and …

While it's been a mostly pleasant day at the polls, there have been a few "incidents" being run through the rumor mill.
Before I get to the thrilling tales of possibly drunk candidates being ejected from polling sites and already-elected officials getting into shoving matches with voters, I owe my readers an apology. I completely dropped the ball on the special election in the 1st District (or Ward, depending on who you talk to. More about that later.) to replace retiring council member Mila Hayes, who stepped down in the beginning of the year. I was reading it as a standard primary race on my spreadsheet, but Republican Russell C. Morello, Jr. and Democrat Mary M. DeSouza are actually battling for the seat. It's the one race everyone can vote in regardless of party affiliation and I neglected to accurately reflect that in my coverage. I didn't realize my …
