Meuser finally comes out for Hackett

Dan Meuser, who lost to PA-10 Republican nominee Chris Hackett in a close and bitter primary, has come out strong for Hackett.  For months Meuser has been timid in his support, but now has thrown his support behind Hackett.  A poll was released yesterday showing Hackett trailing freshman Congressman Chris Carney by a narrow margin. One PA-10 veteran operative told Inside Edge Meuser had to come out with a strong show of support if he wanted a future in the party as he could not be seen as the reason Hackett lost a close race.
