TWO LESSONS from the race for governor: State Attorney General Tom Corbett, the front-running Republican, is gaffe-prone.

And Allegheny County Executive Dan Onorato, his Democratic challenger, pounces each time Corbett blunders aloud.

Corbett, addressing Delaware County Republicans on Thursday, noted Democratic efforts to pump up voter turnout in Philadelphia for Tuesday's general election. Gov. Rendell has said he wants at least 50 percent of the city's Democrats to vote.

"We want to make sure that they don't get 50 percent," Corbett said. "Keep that down."
