Tammy, what puts our minds at ease is that Onorato is a horrible candidate struggling to get 40% of the vote in polls, and Corbett will most likely mop the floor with him in three months, ending eight years of Democrat financial mismanagement in the governor’s office.

I like the fact that Corbetts inner circle is concentrated with the likes of Brian Nutt & people that have records full of L’s not W’s… Brian Nutt loves to LOSE, what makes him think it is ok to take this winning campaign and throw it around like he did with Fishers? The State GOP & Corbetts campaign are so far out of touch with their own party.

1994 -

Considering that it was nearly 8 years of Republican fiscal mismanagement at the national level that got us into the global recession we are currently in, I don’t think any Republican has a leg to stand on in criticizing anyone else for financial mismanagement! And the thought of any GOP candidate, especially one with no executive experience or record of financial responsibility whatsoever, making claims about their superior ability to handle the economy, while keeping a straight face, is laughable at best.

And as far as the polls go, Pennsylvanians may very well stick with their decades-long habit of electing one party for eight years, then the other, and so on, but I hardly think polls in mid-July can be taken very seriously, and if one is going to do so, then one also has to acknowledge that, since the time of the primary, just two months ago, Onorato’s poll numbers have been steadily increasing while Corbett’s have been decreasing. Corbett started out this general election season with a 20-point lead in the polls. In two short months, that has decreased to only 7. He’s not exactly going in the right direction.

Really, Tammy, George Bush and the GOP caused the “global recession?” That’s a new one. Either you are really bad at spinning or you’re so deep in lefty politics that you actually believe this. Funny and sad at the same time.

Back to reality: Polls show Democrats are in deep trouble across the country. Four years of the Pelosi Congress and two years of Obama have left voters disappointed and ready to vote for Repulicans (yes, this is the “lesser of two evils” for some voters, but we’ll take votes however we can get them). Obama and Rendell approval ratings are low in PA. This hurts Sestak, Onorato and other Dems on the ballot just like Bush’s low poll numbers hurt the GOP in ’06 and ’08. This is just an awful political environment for Dems.

As for Onorato and his “executive” experience, the GOP will spend millions explaining what this guy actually did to Southwest PA. It won’t be a pretty picture.

I live in Southwestern PA and, from where I’m sitting, Allegheny County has weathered the recession storm better than most. And apparently, the GOP agrees, seeing as how they chose Pittsburgh to host their national GOPAC summit just last month, insisting that, since the summit, and presumably the election, would be all about “jobs, jobs,jobs,” that Pittsburgh “is a great example of a city that has…blossomed in the fields of technology, health care and her great universities.”

It’s so nice to see the GOP endorsing the fine jobs our Democratic leaders have done here!

It’s just too bad they can’t seem to keep their rhetoric straight.

Only in Tammyland would the GOP selecting a city for an event translate into some kind of support for a Dem candidate. Perhaps every state Dems select for meetings and conventions can be construed as endorsements of Republican officeholders as well.
