Ryan Shafik of Rockwood Strategies is one of the best political analysts in Pennsylvania.
 
He has analyzed Tom Corbett’s polling numbers and has determined that he is one of the “most unpopular Republican governors in America” and has much worse polling numbers than Rick Santorum did at this point in the year before his 2006 electoral defeat. Namely, Corbett is approved by 38 percent of Pennsylvanians and disapproved by 52 percent. As I have pointed, Republican Attorney General candidate, Dave Freed, underperformed every other Republican (and every other state wide candidate) in Pennsylvania.

The Republican base deserted Republican Freed/Corbett/Zimmerman and even voted Democrat to end 32 years of one party rule and Corbett’s perceived cover up of the Penn State cover up of the Sandusky serial child molestations. The Freed underperformance can be looked at as a proxy election for Tom Corbett 2014.

The polling numbers and the election results tell us that the Republicans need a new candidate.  

Election Numbers Republican Attorney General Candidate Dave Freed significantly Freed/Corbett underperformed every other Republican state wide candidate. Republican voters rejected Freed/Corbett and voted for the Democrat.

My view is that Republicans were aware that Dave Freed was a close associate of Tom Corbett and his Establishment donors and that Dave Freed as Attorney General would protect Corbett from claims of slow rolling the Sandusky investigation in exchange for 100s of 1000s of campaign contributions as well as sabotaging the LeRoy Zimmerman/Hershey Trust investigation. 

Republican Attorney General Candidate Dave Freed significantly Freed/Corbett underperformed every other Republican state wide candidate. Republican voters rejected Freed/Corbett and voted for the Democrat. Republican candidate for Treasurer did not run a highprofile campaign and, likely, represents the base line of the Republican statewide vote.

DID YOU KNOW As you walk up the steps to the building which houses the U.S. Supreme Court you can see near the top of the building a row of the
world’s law givers and each one is facing one in the middle who is facing forward with a full frontal view … It is Moses
and he is holding the Ten Commandments!
 
DID YOU KNOW? As you enter the Supreme Court courtroom, the two huge oak doors have the Ten Commandments engraved on each lower portion of each door.

DID YOU KNOW? As you sit inside the courtroom, you can see the wall, right above where the Supreme Court Judges sit, a display of the Ten Commandments

DID YOU KNOW? There are Bible verses etched in stone all over the Federal Buildings and Monuments in Washington ,

D.C. DID YOU KNOW? James Madison, the fourth president, known as ‘ The Father of Our Constitution ‘ made the Following statement: ‘We have staked the whole of all our political Institutions upon the capacity of mankind for Self-government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to The Ten Commandments of God.’

DID YOU KNOW? Every session of Congress begins with a prayer
by a paid preacher, whose salary has been paid by thetaxpayer since 1777.

DID YOU KNOW? Fifty-two of the 55 founders of the Constitution were members of the established Orthodox churches in the colonies.

DID YOU KNOW? Thomas Jefferson worried that the Courts would overstep their authority and instead of Interpreting the law would begin making law an oligarchy: the rule of few over many. How then, have we gotten to the point that everything we have done for 220 years in this Country is now suddenly wrong and Unconstitutional? Lets put it around the world and let the world see and remember what this great country was Built on The Holy Bible and belief in GOD!
