Looks like supporting Gay Marriage and raising taxes isn’t helping Corbett very much

A caller on some talk radio show raised the point that since there is a decline in the use of hard-wired phones due to the popularity of cell-phones, can any of these polls ever be accurate? Its not like there is a telephone book for cell phones that pollsters can use.

I'd imagine that they are using purchased databases rather than the phone book. A purchased database would have significantly more cell phone numbers in it.

Also the fact that we have a Republican governor, both houses of the state legislature are Republican controlled, and we still can't buy beer and wine in supermarkets. If Corbett had managed to get just that one thing done he'd win in a landslide.

I don't know, we live here, my hubby works with state legislators, it seems pretty accurate. Everybody hates Corbett. Stupid people here are going to vote themselves out of the frying pan and into the fire.

I vote for Ron Burgundy!

Gov. Corbett's biggest problem is the eastern PA Republicans in the legislature who act like Democrats.

...... and, Corbett is a member of the Opressor Class.

I'll bet Wolf wins.

100 to 1.

Here's my dollar.

Corbett is an ***, but I am voting for him without question. I will do everything I can not to let some idiot Dem gov. screw with my gun rights. People better understand that.

I would have to blame The Mob

PA is doomed.

My wife and I are looking to move south. I'm tired of this damn state.

You and me both. When I finish school I'm heading to FL.

LOL..no difference here other than we can buy our beer just about anywhere. We also have the two faced ex-gov and Rep. that turned Dem. Crist, trying to oust the Republican Scott.

Grammar police: Do you mean Charlie Crist? He's not very Christy in my book, only Jesus is.

Yes but you have a growing state, no state income tax, and no snow. PA will continue into the dumper, only it'll be a faster ride with Gov. Wolfe.

Right you are JonBoy and the more the merrier I say. You gonna move down south to teach daddy how to fish ?

Most Penn State alumni think Corbett helped Sandusky's charity the Second Mile cover up his crimes. The Second Miles was very influential in business and politics. He took money from them when he was AG. So far, every PSU board of trustees member who has been up for re-election and had involvement with second mile has been voted out.

This is also why Kathleen Kane won a landslide as state Attorney General. She promised to dig into what happened with second mile.

You take the Dems who hate Corbett already and mix in angry PSU alumni who may otherwise vote Rep and you have blowout city even though Wolf is a clown. State GOP should know this and ditch Corbett. They should try to get Santorum or somebody else to run in his place.

As a hardcore independent let me say I will vote for wolfe 100 out of 100 times.. not cause I believe in him or what he will do, but because corbett has been every bit as bad as Rendell was prior to him. Fracking owns the dude. he is a total abortion of a governor.

PA is ranked 10th of 50 states in highest tax burdens in the country. Yeah, if you believe that's not quite high enough go ahead and vote for Wolf. Yeah, yeah I know Corbett raised some taxes and fees. You ain't seen nothing yet.

 

[Supersteeler]

My wife says she would move South if the opportunity presented itself, but I couldn't and won't. I actually enjoy seasons. Also when we go South on vacation, after walking around in 90 degree heat for 7 days I'm ******* done and ready to head back up here to get some relief.

Corbett gave the frackers a free pass. we are letting companies take natural resources from the state using a method that has severe impacts on groundwater and stability, misled the public by having the PA DEP not disclose known contaminants, and forced cities like Pittsburgh to allow fracking in their borders, regardless of proximity to communities or streams that run to the rivers. They pay no taxes on the resources they are taking so the long term impact will be covered by taxpayers. On top of all that my taxes are worse than when he started. You cant really look at Corbetts body of work and say he has even been an ok governor. He had a shot and frankly he sucked.
