Negative ads will be counterproductive here. Most of us in Pennsylvania know Rick pretty well here

I agree with that but even still 41% in your own state is nothing to write home about. That's sad.

There are a lot of Pennsylvanians who just want to wind up this contest and see any attempts to delay the inevitable as just making it all the harder to oust ObaMao in November. That could change if Rick turns in a surprisingly good performance in Wisconsin tonight.

We don't see Newt or Sarah or anyone else riding in on a white horse at the last moment to save us. Freepers, of course, will give Rick a solid majority here. But we're not a majority of the GOP or even of the conservatively inclined GOP.

Its not sad, its REALITY. Folks, Santorum is milk toast, and is NOT liked in PA. He is far more popular in other parts of the country that he is in his own back yard for good reason.

There is a REASON he was sent packing by 17 points in 06, and in polls taken just this month would lose a rematch by 8-10 right now. The guys not remotely what his backers think he is.

Lived in PA since 1986, and dreamed of a day when the primary vote by the time it got here might matter, and what are my choices? A loser milk toast and a democrat abortionist.

Those of us in PA know the guy and his record, very well, and frankly the fact he currently polling at 41% among republicans is rather suprising.. not because of how low that is, but how high that is for this guy here.

You’ll see Rick do better in western Pa. and central up for grabs. But on the Eastern side Rick will not do well...Philadelphia and such, and these people don’t want Santorum at all. Romney will take the East....and the closer you get to Maryland the bluer the state gets....same with NY state.

PA will likely go Romney when the ads begin to flow.
