I am hoping for that lying pig Snyder to lose here in Michigan. Peters is going to be going to the Senate, according to all projections. I hope that helps Snyder lose.

something like "Wolf, a wealthy businessman ..."

And then there's the Governor's race in Wisconsin. Our candidate - a wealthy businesswoman. Then there's the great "progressive" hope in Kansas, a wealthy businessman.

Of course, a candidate with deep pockets is usually stronger than one without, but when Republicans lose to these people, it is less clear that this is a victory for the working class.

Considering that it's Tom Corbett and the fact that he protected serial child molester Jerry Sandusky while he was attorney general just to save his precious football team, can we begin the prosecutions now?

Wolf wants to tax the frackers, Corbett didn't.

Corbett cut $1 billion from education.

Corbett tried to outsource the PA lottery to a foreign company.

Pennsylvania ranks 46th out of 50 states in the rate of private sector job growth during the three years Corbett had been in office.

Corbett said he supported forcing women to have a trans-vaginal ultrasound before an abortion because "You just have to close your eyes".

MSNBC had declared Wolf winner at almost exactly 8:00:01.

Congrats to Gov. elect Wolf.
