Former TV newscaster. Pro-choice Dem. Apparently he had little name recognition outside of Pittsburgh area. Not much money either. I found this info on him: http://www.issues2000.org/PA/Ron_Klink.htmhttp://www.citypaper.net/articles/110200/cs.cov.ron.shtml

Klink is more centrist that lib., actually a conservative Dem in many ways, He kicked Santorum's ass in the debate, had good gun-guy ratings, but the media was too busy fawning over Jesus Santorum. Next time, Rick is in serious trouble, however.

Conservative Democrat IMHO, too much so to get traction beyond anybody-but-Santorum, which wasn't as strong then as it is now.

8. Klink is like Zell Miller |

I think he even endorsed Bush over Kerry, and Specter over Hoeffel

I hate those types of Democrats even more than some Greens. I could agree with Casey, but endorsing Bush and Specter would not be worth it.

13. Klink lost because he couldn't raise money |
|
liberal donors stayed away in droves because of social conservatism. I really miss Harris Wofford.
