Meanwhile, In Newtown Square

GOP chairman Mike Gillin just left court where township supervisor incumbent Linda Houldin pulled a Puppio and challenged the legality of Ed Partridge's campaign lit. She lost. Gillin is privately backing Partridge in this race.

Newtown Square makes what's happening in Springfield's 6th Ward look like a 60's love-in, only without the long hair and the drugs.

My colleague Tim Logue put it better:
NEWTOWN — An election to fill one seat on an all-Republican board may not seem like an earth shaker, but it makes all the difference in Newtown, where the board of supervisors is split like a lunch tab at a cheapskate convention.
I'm meeting Gillin soon.

More later.

UPDATE: Supervisor and Partridge supporter Joe Catania reports that things are looking "real good" for his guy, even in Houldin's home ward. "We're either even or ahead. We'll see."
