Pike hires trio of consulting firms for 6th District run
Democrat Doug Pike, a former Philadelphia Inquirer editorial writer, has hired three political consulting firms—including the company run in part by Neil Oxman, a longtime strategist for Gov. Ed Rendell—for his campaign in the 6th Congressional District, Pike campaign manager Andrew Eldredge-Martin told pa2010.com today.
The Campaign Group, which Oxman runs with Doc Sweitzer and J.J. Balaban, will advise the Pike campaign and produce its radio and television ads. Philadelphia native Jef Pollock’s Global Strategy Group will conduct polls for the campaign. MSHC Partners, a direct-mail and interactive communications firm, will also advise the campaign.
The Campaign Group was recently working for Democrat Joe Torsella’s aborted Senate run, is working for gubernatorial candidate Dan Onorato and helped elect Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter. Oxman this week topped pa2010.com’s list of the Commonwealth’s Top 10 Political Consultants.

Wow, Pike hired Wofford and Torsella’s team? I guess they are out of the running against Gerlach.

I don’t know how people don’t understand this, they are sick of losing, but Pike is finally doing it the right way, getting his name out, doing the ground work, and raising the money, all VERY early. He will not be another walk over for Gerlach.
