Who will win battle for GOP soul and How Will Progressives Succeed?

It may seem tempting to sit back, and as one long time Democrat put it to me, watch the GOP implode, but I’m not so sure that 1) that is what is going to happen, or 2) even with implosion, it won’t spell hardship for LGBT issues.

A Partial Comparison of Corbett and Onorato for PA Governor

Campaign sites are designed with an intended audience and purpose. They are not a bad source of information, but may not display the whole picture. Still, many bloggers do not do even half this level of research, so Gaudini is really to be applauded.

Corbett’s Lead Due to Name Recognition

Polls are important for a number of reasons, but when we start to act based only on the polls, we fail Democracy/democratic system. Now that the primary is over, it is time to stop exclusively following poll results and begin to look at the actual candidates hoping to be the next Pennsylvania governor.

What Should Western PA Make of Anthony Williams?

But what is Anthony Hardy Williams, and does he care about Western PA? I know he has been here, at least long enough to look around for jobs, but is he interested in being the Governor of Pennsylvania or the Governor of Philadelphia.

Do You Need a Reason to Elect a Democrat as Governor in PA?

There is nothing wrong with Christianity nor most Christians, but when our elected officials are taking actions to remove rights from people because “God placed me in this powerful position,” there is a really big problem.
