Tour De 10th District

You have to hand it to Chris Hackett for being creative with his new campaign tour of the 10th District. Either that or the cost of gasoline is beginning to affect the Hackett campaign's bottom line.

Apparently, Hackett is an avid cyclist and decided to work it into his quest for Congress. He and his wife Ramah--at points on separate bikes and at others on a tandem Trek bike--will be looking to speak with voters in all thirteen counties.

Hackett is planning to hit 20 stops on the tour and kicked it off yesterday by visiting Tick Tocks in Honesdale where he had lunch with local officials.

It seems point along the journey are evening sparking further discussion in the debate between he and Chris Carney. From the Times Leader:
Riding west on Route 6 between Honesdale and Carbondale, Hackett passes within a mile of the Waymart Wind Farm, a rare symbol of agreement between the GOP challenger and his Democrat opponent.
Be sure to catch Chris Hackett's Cervelo tour when it comes to an area near you:
