Forrester's only chance is if he starts slamming Torch early and often.

So the relative unknown who is currently tied in the polls with a powerful incumbent doesn't have a prayer unless he follows your advice? Noted.

So the relative unknown who is currently tied in the polls with a powerful incumbent doesn't have a prayer unless he follows your advice? Noted.

FWIW, even then I don't think Forrester has a chance in hell. The Republican party in the Northeast is in dire search of an identity.
In case you haven't noticed, Ed Rendell is about to take PA and outside of indictment, the Torch isn't going anywhere. Although normally incumbents below 45% are in trouble (because they seldom go up) Doug's never going to get above 45% because nobody knows who he is and once they find out, they won't vote for him.
Unless you have an example of a staunch Pro-Life Republican winning a race in the Northeast recently. I'd be anxious to hear about it.
