Compare that to around 60% countywide.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12341882.post-1133357019224383052005-11-30T08:23:00.000-05:002005-11-30T08:23:00.000-05:00CBK is a completely different candidate than Rober...CBK is a completely different candidate than Roberts. CBK is pro-life and a long time Harrisburg insider (her name recognition won her the 9 member primary with less than 35% of the vote). She also comes from a part of Western PA that likely won't be as supportive of Roberts.LVDemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07359661408192860813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12341882.post-1133282324320901992005-11-29T11:38:00.000-05:002005-11-29T11:38:00.000-05:00Roberts seems like a good replacement for CBK.

Same geography, greater appeal to women (she's pro-choice), a lot more energy and competence, and counterbalances Swann a little.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12341882.post-1133275679027602982005-11-29T09:47:00.000-05:002005-11-29T09:47:00.000-05:00No judicial retention had yielded a kicked out jud...No judicial retention had yielded a kicked out judge either.

She seems completely out of it and ought to bow out gracefully--don't hold your breath.<BR/>Should be an interesting race next year--the Republican primary with Bill Scranton vs. Lynn Swann to the General. His Holiness believes that the Governor, though vulnerable, is not down and out. No Governor has been defeated for re-election since the Constitution allowed for two terms beginning with the Shapp Administration.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12341882.post-1133196399095286692005-11-28T11:46:00.000-05:002005-11-28T11:46:00.000-05:00Interesting scenario could play out here.

My guess, however, is that once outside of Montco this guy is going to have to get his name everywhere. If he makes it to the primary, it'll be interesting to see if he has an impact on Rendell's base in Montco which was huge last time around. <BR/><BR/>Hm... this will be interesting.LVDemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07359661408192860813noreply@blogger.com
