During the election for Montgomery County Commissioners this week the Republicans lost control for the first time in about 100 years. There were some comments on the story on KYW and after reading them I thought I would offer an opinion.
'Bruce Castor, Republican candidate and incumbent commissioner, may be right in his assessment of why the Republicans lost the Montgomery County Commissioners race. According to Castor the Democrats won because they had more money and more votes. That is more the reason than the cause.
But I think it comes down to the lack of a compelling reason to vote for the Republicans or even a compelling reason to vote. Republicans many times seem to come up short on motivating the voters.
Certainly it can’t be because the other side doesn’t provide the material to work with. I think the GOP has to figure out how and when to use that material rather than expecting that people will automatically vote for Republicans just because they talk about lowering taxes or creating jobs. It has to become a more personal message directed at the voters.'
