PHILADELPHIA/EWORLDWIRE/April 16, 2008 --- Throughout his campaign, 17th District Republican State Senate candidate Lance Rogers of Montgomery County has claimed in his advertising that he has been endorsed by the Delaware County Republican Committee.An examination of the record shows Rogers has been reckless in his claims.
The Radnor Township Republican Committee unanimously endorsed Lisa Paolino for State Senate on Feb. 27, 2008, calling her "a superb choice for the Republican Party." ('http://www.paolinoforsenate.blogspot.com/2008/03/radnor-republican-com...')
Haverford GOP Leader George Twardy said today, "Our GOP Leadership and Committee members were never invited to any endorsement meeting concerning this race. I don't know how Lance Rogers can claim our endorsement when my people never met. If they had met, we would have endorsed our friend and life-long Republican, Lisa Paolino."
Radnor and Haverford are the only Delaware County towns in the 17th District.
Lisa Paolino said, "This is another sign of Lance Roger's inexperience and lack of attention to detail. He has been a Democrat, a Republican, an Independent and now a Republican again. He has bragged about interning in Bill Clinton's White House and now his campaign is comparing Lance to Barack Obama. (Main Line Life, March 19, 2008). The bottom line is I am a life-long Republican - Lance Rogers is a convenient Republican, and just another political opportunist."
In addition to being endorsed by the Radnor GOP, Paolino, the first woman elected to a full term on the Radnor Board of Commissioners, has also been endorsed by Republican State Representatives Bill Adolph and Tom Killion.
