Who is Vince Galko?
Vince Galko is Lou Barletta’s campaign manager. Galko has a long history of helping run campaigns in Pennsylvania for various Republican candidates. However, unfortunately for Lou Barletta, Galko also has a long record of running losing campaigns for various Republican candidates. Considering this, it is no wonder why (as I’ve documented in previous posts on this blog) the Barletta campaign has made so many major missteps.
One of the first campaigns Vince Galko worked on was Bob Dole’s 1996 Presidential Campaign. That, as everyone knows, ended with Dole being handily defeated by Bill Clinton. Then, in 1997, Galko served for a time as a staff member for Senator Arlen Specter, the senior senator from Pennsylvania. In 2004, Galko served as Deputy Executive Director for George W. Bush’s Pennsylvania campaign. While George Bush went on to win that election, Bush ended up loosing the state of Pennsylvania to John Kerry.
More recently, Vince Galko served as Senator Rick Santorum’s campain manager. Santorum ended up loosing that election to Bob Casey, Jr. Then, in 2007, Galko was selected to work as one of Rudy Giuliani’s regional campaign directors. That campaign ended up being one of the most disastrous and ill-managed campaigns ever waged in recent history. And now, Vince Galko is serving as the campaign manager for Lou Barletta.
While I didn’t think it possible for anyone in politics to have a more unimpressive, failure laced resume than Lou Barletta, Vince Galko has proven me wrong. Vince Galko, simply put, is the kiss of death for almost every politician who makes the horrible mistake of hiring him. While he does have a large amount of experience, sadly, most of it is only experience in failure. It is not surprising that Lou Barletta, who is armed with his own large bag of failures, would be attracted to Galko. The two were made for eachother.

1. Bob Dole NEVER had a chance.
2. John Kerry won PA, what a suprise. Welcome to one of the most liberal states in the union.
3. Bob Casey, Jr. , Name recognition. Seniors loved his dad.
The more you write, the more you prove how much you’re NOT a conservative.

NEPAConservative, you seem like you have a lot of experience at making excuses for failure. You should work for the Barletta Campaign.

Enigma: “Attack NEPA”? Hmm. Obviously your reading skills are about as low as your political IQ. Get an adult to help you read the post again, and then maybe you’ll understand.

[...] being taught at Temple University. The fact that Barletta and his propaganda idiots (probably Vince Galko) find a way to throw in a reference to the US Military is a cheap and sleazy political gimmick. [...]
