Someone else has the GOP nomination.
He decided to put his family first. No, it is too late for him to change his mind to run for Governor ( he took over when Ridge went to Washington), but maybe, hopefully, he will, in the future run for U.S. Senator to take Wishy Washy Specters seat, With Schweiker and Santorum, Pennsylvania would have to the two best senators in the country.
State Attorney General Mike Fisher is trailing Ed Rendell by double digits in the race for governor, but the GOP has yet to launch a campaign. Hopefully things will change once the Republicans decide to spend some campaign money.
