Two Pennsylvania Republican congressmen endorsed Rudy today – Jim Gerlach and Phil English.

Yesterday a Rudy supporter from the NYC tri-state area tried to persuade me that Rudy would carry New Jersey, as he is loved by all those who left during the Dinkins, Koch, and earlier eras of out-of-control crime, drugs, corruption, and dysfunction. (See The Bronx is Burning on ESPN.) It’s a tempting thought, but I’ve seen Republicans fall short too many times in the Garden State to ever get my hopes up again.
