The Keystone state is getting no love from the national pundits. They are
obsessed with Ohio and Florida at the expense of everything else. But let
me tell you one thing, the conservative Republican base is fired up in Pa
and if Kerry wins, it will not be for lack of enthusiasm and effort. All
this nonsense about a backlash against Bush because of his support for
Specter in the Senate primary is utter rubbish. Conservatives can see the
forest for the trees. Ms. Lopez, do not be shocked if Pennsylvania comes
through for Bush. I was in PA all weekend in Lancaster/York Counties and
those folks are watching the clock, counting the minutes, just waiting for
their turn to vote for Bush!
