Model Breaker also has some excellent points.
A Republican Governor with Dems everywhere will get blamed by the media for any and all mistakes. Do we want to give them that "cover?"
Rick O'Donnell (a good guy and a good candidate) is the probable candidate--RNCC has endorsed him and he is getting all the money--although Mark Paschall keeps making noise like he is going to declare. The conventional wisdom is that Mark would have trouble in that district. But I never vote against Mark. He has never lost an election even though sensible people think he is too much of an outspoken conservative to win.
