    Newly-welcomed Democratic Senator Arlen Specter is scheduled to attend the Pennsylvania Democratic State Committee meeting in Pittsburgh, June 5 and 6.

    On Friday, June 5, Gov. Ed Rendell and Chairman T.J. Rooney will be headlining the Inaugural Catherine Baker Knoll Dinner that promises to be an annual event.

  • R’s that switched aren’t switching back

    April 27, 2009 at 4:22 pm

    According to a Washington Post/ABC News poll that appeared today, Republican registration is down by roughly nine percent nationwide. In Pennsylvania alone, Democrats outnumber Republicans by more than 1.2 million voters. Last year, a surge of Republicans switched parties only to stay in the Democratic fold. It’s a costly and time consuming process to get them back. We’re looking forward to 2010.

  • Obama will help in 2010

    April 22, 2009 at 2:52 pm

    Regardless of who the Democratic nominees are in Pennsylvania next year, President Obama will be sure to make several visits to the Keystone State. After all, he has done well by them. His initiatives have expanded health coverage for more than 129,000 kids, saved more than 143,00 jobs with the stimulus plan and aided 138,000 students by making the American Opportunity Tax Credit refundable.

    Expect to see him around.

  • Why Democrats will keep on winning

    April 19, 2009 at 7:00 pm

    Welcome to The BlueNote, where, as a top Democratic Party official, I’ll keep you informed about the exciting things going on with Democratic candidates across the state.

    Many say the Keystone State is due for a shift back toward Republicans in 2010. They’re wrong.

    With a Democratic margin of more than 1.2 million voters and President Obama remaining popular throughout key areas of the state, we know our candidates for Governor, Senate and other offices will fare very well next year.

    As a proud and unapologetic Democrat and loyal supporter of Gov. Ed Rendell and President Obama, I will provide insight on their policies and initiatives, which promise to make Pennsylvania and the nation the best they can be.
