Unfortunately, in typical Karl Rove fashion, Corbett chose just to chase Democrats. He is now between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea. He do anything against Republicans while Gerlach is in the race. They day they decided to pursue these cases they needed to know whether they were really "going to go where the evidence led." Those chose not to do that, and in the end, it is why Corbett won't be Governor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5454535989576644455.post-42046412598750193652009-10-10T14:36:48.905-04:002009-10-10T14:36:48.905-04:00RE: " Anonymous said...
