Any chance the Lt. Governor of PA is pro-life?? Then this might actually be an improvement. ;-)
Yes, he is. He is Mark Schweiker. Unfortunately, he is not running for governor when Ridge's term is up (unless he changes his mind).
The GOP candidate will likely be Mike Fisher, the current AG of PA. The DemocRAT will either be Ed Rendell or Bob Casey Jr.
If the Dem is Casey Jr., it will be an interesting race. A lot of people in PA liked Casey's father - a pro-life Democrat. I *think* Casey Jr. is also a pro-life Democrat and I think Fisher is also. So the pro-aborts may sit out or even field their own candidate, which would divide the Democrat vote.
