Well the streak is due to be broken. It’s actually more a each party wins 2 in row thing. If only Schweiker had run in 2002 against that swine Rendell. He would have kept the incumbent streak but broken the 2 in row thing.
If Casey loses to this Smith guy though that means Casey is weak himself. If Corbett is as lousy as all that a primary challenge or browbeating him into not running would be prudent. Florida is dealing with the same thing, the new GOP Governor is as popular as mud.
I would’ve gone for Rorher too. I just can’t trust this guy Smith that was a democrat just last year, there are too many self-proclaimed tea party favorites. His money though may be the only thing to give the GOP a chance against Casey.
I don’t think Smith is that bad a selection. First off Rorher ran a lousy campaign. He had no coverage in my area, which is where a Conservative needs to be getting the vote out. The phone rang off the hook here for every other candidate in the race except for Sam. Not good. I don’t know if it was money or what. Smith has cash. The first thing needed to knock off Casey. Second, he doesn’t have a voting record. Rohrer has a long one and Casey would just beat him all day long with it. We are not a Conservative state. You need RINO voters to win here. Now the focus of the race will be on Caseys crappy record. There is a lot to mine there.
The biggest impediment to knocking Boob out will be overcoming his name recognition. I just hope enough old timers have checked out that it starts becoming meaningless in comparison to his record. Tall order.
