4/13 Morning Buzz

Republicans in Harrisburg showed little sign of slowing down, as the House passed a Castle Doctrine bill and welfare reform. This on top of a host of other measures passed in committee or on the floor of the House and Senate this week.

School vouchers, on the other hand, put a bump in the road for the Republican agenda. Despite momentum in recent days, a large rally in the Capitol yesterday, and vocal support of reform by Governor Corbett, the Senate delayed its vote on SB1.

And President Obama has some worries in Pennsylvania, according to a new Public Policy Polling survey. He is statistically tied with Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum.

Good morning politicos, and welcome to the buzz.
