Right. But are we asking the questions here, or of the man directly? Has anyone asked them of the man directly? Seriously. If you got a response, post it.

Agreed. It is not an acceptable answer. I had a similar experience a while back with one of his people. Has anyone gotten it in writing?

These facts beg the question: Where does Mike McGeehan live?
It is hard to tell people where you live when you have spent your entire life hiding in a closet.

Even after David Carl posted people still seem to read what they want. Oh well, name calling is for children.

Put a fork in it. No way! We have just set the table, popped open a bottle of wine and are waiting for the appetizers. You started this thread, now there's alittle heat and you want out of the kitchen. (OK OK I'll stop w/ the metaphors).
Lets get down dogghosts. McGeehan does not own property in PA, Philly, or the district. Why should he. He a single [excuse me] unmarried man making good money, after all he did vote for the pay raise. I guess I wouldn't invite my fancy cosmopolitain friends over for dinner to Torresdale Ave either.
It is sad that the man can't answer the question of where he lives, and dodges answering a such simple question at every oppertunity. That my friend is a SNAKE. McGeehan has been very deceitful to the people on several levels.

After all, if a man can't be open about all parts of his life, how can we trust him?

Also dogghost, I find comical that you chose animal metaphors that are phallic in nature.

Default question for Baldwin supporters

In the Senate race, will you be voting for Bob Casey, seeing as Rick Santorum doesn't live in PA and his kids don't go to school here?

I've gotten about fifteen mailers from Baldwin, and that single question about McGeehan's place of residence seems to be the crux of his campaign. Is he planning to vote for Casey?

Santorum's family does live in Virginia. You are correct. They live there because he spends most of his time working in DC. You can't blame the guy for wanting to be close to his family.

Santorum owns property in PA as well. He owns a house and several investment properties in the Pittsburgh area. He also has an interest in Kirkpatrick & Lockhart Nicholson Graham. They have law offices in both Harrisburg and Pittsburgh. They also have few hundred emplyees and several hundred million dollars invested in a PA coal company, not to mention their other ventures.

McGeehan rents a few hundred feet for an office and ....

So if you want to compare a man who helped build one of the largest law firms in the state to a guy who put a couple of flower pots outside a bar - Be my guest.

It's not fair to compare Santorum to McGeehan on the residency issue.

Santorum's house is in the DC metro area, which makes sense because that's where he works. I'm not voting for him anyway but it is disappointing that he didn't choose to have a real residence anywhere in PA as well, like a condo in either Pittsburgh or here in Philly, or a vaction house on Lake Erie or in the Poconos.

McGeehan's homes are in NJ and FL, and he works in Philadelphia and Harrisburg neither of which are in NJ or FL. However I see the guy at almost every community meeting and event, so he does spend a lot of time here working and he deserves total credit for that. The issue isn't that McGeehan has vacation homes, but that besides sleeping here when it is convenient, he doesn't seem to spend any time here voluntarily.

McGeehan does a pretty good job for the district. He is at a minimun above-average for a state rep, probably better. However I wonder if prostitutes would be working the corners near my house if he actually lived here. Come'on Mike, we have prostitutes working the corners here, no wonder Tacony is getting loud.
