Ever hear of Lake Erie, how about the Delaware River, not to mention PA boat owners who keep their boats several hours away in other states. Unfortunately, for Santorum, his crazy bill got a lot of press throughout the country and the attention of a somewhat cliqueish group.

I was going to say...I live two miles from the Delaware River and AFAIK no one here in the southeast keeps their boats in PA...they're all either in NJ or DE.

One other thing I want to point out Re: Santorum is that Rendell will be campaigning for Casey. It's something that needs to be taken into account.

Come to think of it, there is a lot of water around here. Numerous boaters drown in it every summer--most of them drunk.

I didn't really read your post carefully--I thought you were talking about seagoing craft...yachts, etc.

We do have a lot of canoes on the cricks and pontoon boats on the Susquehanna.

A friend of mine operates a mini-sized model of the African Queen on our stretch of the river.

But enough boaters to defeat Santorum in a general election?

Never.
