The Tom Corbett Watch: Yesterday Was a Good Day for the State of Pennsylvania

     First it's gay marriage ban was declared unconstitutional by a federal judge.

      Now, with the victory of 'self funded' Tom Wolf in the Democratic primary the state is that much closer to getting rid of Corbett-who's been at the helm with bad laws like the gay marriage ban and voter ids. 

       Sure, I know that Wolf's win can be seen as a double edged sword. Yes, it's great if he can beat Corbett but some may well feel that the better candidate-Allison Schwartz' didn't win because Wolf was able to blitz the entire states with ads paid for by his own cash. 

      "Gov. Tom Corbett (R) is considered one of the nation's most vulnerable governors in November, inviting Democrats to scramble for the nomination to unseat him. Businessman Tom Wolf appears to have separated from the rest of the field: Rep. Allyson Schwartz, state Treasurer Rob McCord and Katie McGinty, a former secretary of the state's Department of Environmental Protection, are trailing him by double digits in recent polls. A loss on Tuesday would represent a huge disappointment for Schwartz, who was the perceived front-runner until Wolf began pumping millions into his own campaign to preempt the other candidates on the air across the Keystone State. Wolf's momentum has derived from his positive, biographical ads discussing his leadership of his family business, the nation's largest supplier of kitchen cabinets. Schwartz's television ads have been more policy-oriented, as she has touted her contributions to the Affordable Care Act and Pennsylvania's Children's Health Insurance Program."

       Yes, you could argue that she should have won as she was the more issue oriented candidate-obviously the issue oriented candidate doesn't always win to say the least; however, some might argue that they should. Still, the other side of the coin is maybe because Wolf has the cash he's in a stronger position to knock out Corbett-he can't be outspent. 

      Anyway, my candidate is ABC-anyone but Corbett, and Wolf more than fits the bill here.
