WTF!!! Hell, I consider myself well versed in PA Politics and I barely know anything about the guy.I don't think there is any doubt that Bob Casey could win, but why in the world would he want to run? Especially since the Pa budget problems are going to extend for the next few years. Chris Doherty??? WTF!!!

He can run against the establishment and easily poke holes in Corbett's prosecutorial mishaps. Tom Knox has:

Corbett is tame enough for SEPA moderates so this race will be about economic issues. Onorato's record of raising taxes will hurt him.

Onorato is an idiot, but will likely get the Dem nod, barring some great scandal, a la Bill Scranton in 2006. I prefer Wagner, I think he could beat Corbett. Onorato will not beat CorBett. Drink Tax, Drink Tax, Drink Tax. Prepare for that mantra to get repeated daily. I would like to see Alyson run, it would bring a new dynamic and interest to the race.

Those familiar with his candidacy have one of two reactions, or both: He's the guy who pushed through the beer tax and he's not progressive on social issues.

A big hole in the ground, overbudget taxpayer rip-off from his Port Authority where the tax dollars go to his contributors? And now his PA wants to raise fares. This Onorato is a typical corporatist Democrat -- tax the workers and hobnob with the fat cats. Good record?

Onorato isn't Bob Casey '01 because there is no Rendell in this field. If anything, Onorato is to 2010 what Rendell was to '02 -- the big city guy with a good record who can raise money and shake things up. Here’s where your comparison is off.
