  1. Corbett needs to learn how to give a better speech if he is planning on staying in office. He was horrible at the PA Society event.

    And he needs to go after the same issues democrats will be coming after him for, sexual assaults being ignored!

    Thanks to Mark Critz the democrats will draw attention for this same issue!
