Polls Show Pennsylvanians Hate Everyone, Everything
People lacking strong medical backgrounds often say things like, “Time heals all wounds.” Not in the case of Rick Santorum. The potential Republican presidential candidate who was crushed by Bob Casey during the 2006 midterms, 59-41, still doesn’t fare too well in his home state, where some bloggers have often referred to him as “universally hated.”...

Rick Santorum. His running for president wouldn’t be so nauseating were he not consistently compared to the candidate he’ll likely face in the CNN/Tea Party debate this spring: Sarah Palin. The National Journal article linked at the end of this blurb is pretty typical of late Santorum profiles. He’s asked about Sarah Palin, it’s wondered whether or not...

It’s Friday and that means you probably just want to slack off, not read too much, huh?

Anyone thinking 2012 might be a little different from 2010, at least in terms of the terms of the Republican party’s rhetorical platform, need look no further than the first Republican who’s stepped up to challenge the oft-mute, smiley, standless, drinker of milque and sucker of toast, Senator Bob Casey, Jr. His name is Marc Scaringi, he’s a Harrisburg-based...

Poll Shows Sestak Up By 3 Points…Wait, What?
A single poll is showing Joe Sestak ahead of Pat Toomey. It’s a Hart Research poll (note: sponsored by the DSCC) and in it, he’s up by three points. Yippie! The bad news is that this is an internal Democratic poll conducted by a company and paid for with DSCC money, so no one’s going to start paying attention to it yet, not until an independent...
