Between the electoral college fireworks, Senate candidates galore, and a possible Tea Party protest, this weekend’s state committee meeting promises to make serious headlines. Here are the major story lines, events and people who will be moving and shaking this weekend.
Democrats have no legal way to block the proposed changes to PA’s electoral college – they have to win the public argument. But they may get some unlikely help from southeast PA Republicans.
Rick Santorum didn’t break into front runner status at last night’s debate, but he did score some points on red meat conservative issues. Maybe most notable was a heated back-and-forth with Texas Rep. Ron Paul.
It’s that time of year again. Labor Day is over, the fall semester has begun and PA College Democrats and Republicans are slowly gearing up for the 2012 elections.
PA Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi wants to allot Pennsylvania’s electoral college votes on a congressional district by district basis, rather than the current system of winner take all – a change that would certainly boost GOP prospects in the state.
Rick Santorum is rallying support on the home front today. 15 PA Senators, including most of its leadership, today announced their endorsement for his presidential bid.
The Republican National Committee is seeking to preempt the President’s Thursday “Pivot to Jobs” speech with a 60 second radio spot entitled “Morning in America.” It hammers the President along the lines of Republicans’ favorite targets: stimulus, health care reform, deficits and debt.
53 percent of Pennsylvania adults believe the state is headed in the wrong direction, and just one-third of voters rate the job performance of President Obama or any given one of the state’s top elected officials as “excellent” or “good.”
Santorum elaborated on the beat-the-odds narrative of his fourth-place finish at the Ames Iowa straw poll, discussed his three day swing through Pennsylvania, and gave a preview of what Texas Governor Rick Perry can expect to face when they cross paths during a debate.
State Rep. Daryl Metcalfe is throwing some fire at Barack Obama today, criticizing the President’s recent executive order calling for a review of deportation orders.
