Onorato gains some ground
A new voter survey by a national political pollster shows Democrat Dan Onorato gaining some ground on Republican Tom Corbett in the race for Pennsylvania governor -- but still trailing by 10 points.

The latest Rasmussen poll, released Thursday, shows Corbett getting 49 percent and Onorato 39 percent, with 10 percent undecided and 2 percent saying they prefer someone else. The survey of 500 likely voters, conducted on Monday, has a stated error margin of plus or minus 4.5 percent.

A Rasmussen suvey last month found Corbett leading, 50-37. Onorato's gain caused the pollster to shift its rating of the Pennsylvania contest from "solid GOP" to "leans GOP."

1. Let's hope this trend continues.
If Onorato starts spending all his money in the final few weeks I think we might witness an upset.

3. Onorato has 10 million.
He should spend that money. He is not perfect, but Mr. Corbett is a piece of decomposed horse manure, at most.
Unemployed people cannot find work. They are searching, but they cannot find it.

4. Good news, Onorato has experience running a government and he is a better choice
all the way around. Corbett thinks it is his just because of that old idea that it is a Republican's turn to be governor. politics aside, Corbett really isn't qualified for the positon.

6. His latest commercial (from his kitchen) is really shoddy.
He holds up a sign and says that he pronounces his name, "On-or- OTT-o."

Then the voice-over guy says, "Vote for On-or-ATT-o"! Makes me want to LOL.
