In the previous post, I forgot to include that I'm an intern for Townhall Magazine. I've been with TH since November and I'm continuing my internship until the end of July.
Pennyslvania politics is going to be the main topic of this blog. For all of you non-PA people, prepare to be completely convinced as to why the Keystone State matters in national politics between now and the November elections.
My "why PA matters rant" today is being fueled by an article in the Washington Times about superdelegates backing Obama. It's my opinion that, if Obama succeeds in winning the Democratic nomination, PA may be red in the general elections. This would pretty much satisfy my life's goal of seeing my home state on the "right" side and it would also boost McCain's chances of winning the presidency. Why do I think PA would choose Mac over Barack? Put simply, the Keystone State overwhelmingly favors Hillary and since we are so "bitter" thanks to our guns and religion, we may just be "bitter" enough to diss the Democratic Party if PA's main girl doesn't get the nod. Also, PA is a purple state and let's be honest, who's more purple than Mr. McCain?
More on this topic soon. Enjoy the beautiful weekend - I know I will!
