Looking at the results from Eddystone, every Democrat on
the ballot defeated their Republican opponent, with the exception of State
Senator Dominic Pileggi, who won his contest by less than 100 votes.
Since Ralph Orr has taken over as the local Republican Party
Chairman, Democrats running for State or National positions continue to
dominate the polls in Eddystone.
Democrats have won these elections despite the fact that there is no
leader of the Democratic Party in Eddystone and no known organization rallying
their vote.
It would appear, at least based on the election results of
2008, 2010, and 2012 that Orr would better be titled the Democratic Party
Chairman, as he has taken the once predictable Republican voting block and
turned it into a predictable Democratic block. In each of those State and National elections, Democrats have won more votes in our Borough than their Republican opponents.
Clearly, this should be concerning information for Delaware County’s
Republican Party leaders. Simply
stated, Orr seems to lack the leadership ability to rally people behind his
cause.
