My mom always used to tell me: "You can tell a lot about somebody by the friends they keep."
Judging by Andy Warren's friends, he would not only make a lousy Democratic nominee in PA-08, but is a pretty detestable type of guy. [By the way, Warren is a 41-year veteran of the Republican Party, who magically made the switch to D when he couldn't find a job in Republican politics.]
To catch you up to speed - Patrick Murphy's first experience with one of Andy's friends was when Andy encouraged a former Republican committeewoman, convicted in 1996 of forging signatures (and consequently barred from holding elected office), to file a worthless petition challenge on his behalf? This deservedly earned Andy the wanker of the day over at Eschaton.]
However, it gets a WHOLE lot worse. See Andy's surrogates are now out there attacking Patrick Murphy's military record.
For those of you who don't know him, Andy Warren is a 41-year Republican, who decided to switch parties because he couldn't get a job in Republican politics. He is now trying to slash and burn his way to the Democratic nomination in PA-08. And while I am the first to embrace party switchers, the problem is that its hard to figure out where Andy stands on, well anything, as his prior statements keep coming back to bite him in the ass.

Check out this quote that one of my favorite Philly bloggers dug up about Andy Warren, who is running for Congress as a Democrat in PA-08 - one of the
Dems best chance for a pick up this year:
Warren admitted he'd still be a Republican if he'd returned to county office, but said he would have "tried to change the direction" of the party from within.
