You're kind of shorthanding this so that it loses all meaning.

In 2007, Onorato most certainly DID not only skip answering questions, but disappeared the questions themselves. See: http://2politicaljunkies.blogspot.com/2007/04/dan-onoratos-magic-act.html

That was mentioned by bloggers this time around in reference to his LGBT cred.

On this year's form, a portion of his answers were missing on the SCSD's website due to no fault of Onorato, but that was quickly corrected and did not become a real issue.

My view of the race is that Corbett is in the lead, and there is an 8-year pendulum in PA due to swing to the R's, and the most likely way for a Democrat to win is if Corbett loses it himself. Which, by the way, I think is fairly likely.

"If Hoeffel such a great candidate, why are people like Kerr and Bram so busy wanting to attack Onorato instead of simply educating everyone about why Hoeffel is the better choice?"

We ARE doing plenty of that. But to answer your question, it is because Onorato is the slight front-runner, the extreme money-leader, and a person whom a fair number of persons are not comfortable with as a prospective governor.

Mr. Waters appears to be confused. His candidate's record(s) can make that understandable.

Onorato wasn't " latecomer to the initiative, which started with county council." as if that is a bad thing. Yes, it started in Council, but he was aware of it and participating as would be appropriate to his role from the day it was introduced.

It is fallacious to say that the legislation took "way longer than it should have."

The candidate calls himself the Democrat, but it seems open to debate whether, freed from campaign coyness, he would be a Democrat.

He is still the Democratic favorite, largely because there is no strong Democrat running.
