Just a heads up to the best readers in the state, PoliticsPA is upgrading its server today. The site will become static around 5pm Thursday. Optimistically, it might return later Thursday depending on the DNS. It could be as early as Friday afternoon – but more likely Saturday or Sunday. Thanks for your patience.
In the mean time, we will be posting stories here: http://politicspa-temporary.blogspot.com/
This should resolve the throttling issue, when the site is busy and some of you have reported seeing a database error message (screenshot below).
It’s a good problem; our traffic is now about three times higher than last year and ten times more than when the current server was chosen. We figured better to upgrade now, rather than have the site crash on primary day.
Thanks for your patience.

Problems like ,”traffic overload”, is always a good problem to have! Beats the alternative. Congrats on the continued success of politicspa.com . John
Isaac L., I like you.
Snark attack! Where’s Richard Dreyfuss when you need him?
Perhaps it will install some impartial and objective reporting and ads?
