Here's some potentially good news from PA:

A patient of mine just told me today - and this fellow is well-conected in Harrisburg politics, -that Corbett's administrators and staff are seeking jobs around the Commonwealth. When I asked him if this was a "just-in-case" maneuver, he laughed and said that no, it was a foregone conclusion that he is going to lose.

Just thought I'd pass it on...

Yes yes we have to GOTV. And we will.

I don't know why we ran Onorato in 2010. Hopefully Corbett's been such a disaster that Wolf will sail in.

I live in this state and have my whole life. Most of the middle of the state might as well be Kansas or Utah. Thankfully, the Dems on both coasts keep us generally blue most of the time though we do end up with Repub gits yet also some of the worst like that freak Santorum whom I'm convinced was conjured by the devil.

I insult this shitty state regularly. Sort of like peeing after waking up, and eating generally daily several times a day.

Toomey and Corbett were kind of a tag-team 4 years ago.

and have seen a lot of Wolf signs. Around here there's always nearly half of the signs for the Repig... even the worst ones like Bush, McCain/Palin, etc. I let my dog pee on those. Ok, I actively encourage him to pee on those, and he's usually obliging since he seems to want to pee on nearly everything. Being a good doggie mommy I made sure he learned early that peeing on peoples' cars, holiday decorations or any part of their person is not allowed.

I live in the Philly 'burbs just off the Main Line though I grew up there. Anymore one would think this area is the Mine Line as well - prices have gone up to match. Thankfully, the people are are still a lot more diverse though. In the town's along the Main Line there's always a good bit of Repub signs because of the wealth. I try to stay out of their though for the most part to avoid the snobbery and because most of the people on the roads are the most selfish sicko drivers ever. Gas prices are always at least 10 cents cheaper than where I live and anywhere even marginally close to where I live since so many of the wealthy Main Liners are big oil investors. Can't have the big oil investors paying more for THEIR gas! Ugh. Whenever gas prices go way up close to $4 a gallon for the lowest premium (I guess that's called "regular" these days though there's always 3 choices) I go out to the Main Line to buy gas. It's ludicrous.

So you know exactly what I'm talking about then. Odd state this is. And generally just shitty though thankfully I live in the less shitty part.

in Murrysville and Delmont yesterday and must have seen 50 signs for Corbett and only one for Wolf. This area is so discouraging and it's the reason I was so afraid Obama wouldn't win.
