Coup de Grace
Written by Mark Harris on January 2nd, 2007O’Brien new speaker of PA House.
A Republican from Philly the Speaker of the House of a Democratic Majority. Things in PA only get odder…
UPDATE: O’Brien will be shortly holding a press conference with two Democrats, likely to switch parties, which would be a devestating blow to Republicans who backed O’Brien over Perzel (who would’ve remained an R)
UPDATE: O’Brien did not switch parties, though its not sure whats going on with committees yet.
