This Penn State fiasco is a political nightmare for Corbett and he won't get past it.....or him effing up trying to privatize the lottery.

I'm pretty sure whoever the nominee is could defeat Corbett I just think McCord will have the easiest time and the biggest margin of victory. Schwartz may win by 5 or more points but I could see McCord pulling out a blowout.

Underestimating Corbett is not a good idea, though I think it will be close.

Underestimating Corbett? I'm basing this off every poll for the past few years, he's deeply unpopular and not recovering, his base doesn't even like him. Any competent candidate would easily defeat him. He has made countless gaffes not to mention the PennState sex scandal hanging over him I can't see how this will be close.

We'll see.  I think it was Phil (?) who noted the Dem primary battle is going to be costly and bloody.  A wounded warrior will emerge to fight Corbett.  His true pub base not liking Corbett doesn't scare me much, because they're never going to support the Dem candidate.

Scott Paterno, the Dem in the family, threw his hat in the ring for Lt. Governor.

Jay Paterno.  But who cares, this family is nothing but a bunch of rotten attention whores.

Who does command a following in the "T," where the last Lt. Gov democratic nominee was from.  It complicates the race.

Of course it complicates it.  The thought of him as Lite Gov makes me want to literally puke.
