I have held-off all-day, awaiting any sort of finalized decision regarding Guzzardis ballot-situationalas, to no avail; thus, after providing

a contemporaneous update on the disgust experienced by those who are mourning the Shoah [Holocaust] when weighing what Kerry has said, a global review of the electoral situation in PA will be provided [plus nostalgia, etc.]. Regarding Kerry, these are the entries on Drudge Kerry warns Israel could become 'apartheid state' -- on Holocaust memorial day... Top official blasts: 'Shame on you'... Cantor calls for Kerry apology... CRUZ: RESIGN... The last entry resonates, eh? Guzzardi vs. Corbett It is necessary to recognize the potency of Guzzardis candidacy, assuming it is finally launched ASAP; inasmuch as he has eschewed acquisition of private-$, it would seem he will have to fork-out mega-$ if he is to educate his base as to how he contrasts with Corbett [on cutting the budget, on eliminating Common Core, on combating union hegemony]. Guzzardi is now officially on the absentee-ballots as clock-ticks, noting that the Last day to apply for a civilian absentee ballot [May 13] and Last day for County Board of Elections to receive voted civilian absentee ballots [May 16] rapidly approach. Here are his positions, as also posted on PoliticsPA: The Republican establishment during the three years that it has controlled Harrisburg has pursued polices that will raise the annual tax burden by close to $1,000 for many Pennsylvanians by 2018 at least those who own homes and have jobs. {Elsewhere, he lamented the fact that temple-U billionaire-private-corporation is financed-by-millions-of-the-forgotten-taxpayers-money.} If this angers you, if this sickens you, if this makes you feel betrayed vote for me on May 20. I am running to be the Republican nominee for governor against incumbent Tom Corbett. I will not implement the Corbett gas tax. I will move to sell the liquor stores. I will fight to ban school strikes and other things that cause unnecessary increases to your property tax. I will stop Common Core. I will not sign any union contract that contains automatic forced union dues deductions. I will not sign any budget that spends more this year than last and I will gore the special interest spending oxen to protect The Forgotten Taxpayer.

Tom Corbett cannot win in November. I can. The GOPs Gubernatorial-Primary has yet to start in earnest, awaiting the Supremes decision regarding Guzzardis being on the ballot [david-guzzardi-goliath-gleason]; personal blogging has emphasized the interim-need to truth-tell [guzzardi-slams-corbett-on-tv; pa-gov-schwartz-appears-on-msnbc-with-newaca-ad; and kane] and to facilitate dissemination of his message [interview-with-bob-guzzardi and guzzardi-defends-charter-schools]. Others have amplified on his message [letter-to-the-editor-aconservative] and ,e, of course, has not been idle on Facebook, with these two entries illustrative of the thrust hereof: April 22 at 11:45am - Tom Corbett's State Republican Committee has spent, by my estimate, about $60,000 to remove my name from the ballot based on technicalities. I have to think Team Corbett has an internal poll showing I am a real threat. The August robo-poll from Gravis Marketing reported only in Human Events is indicative of my strength v Corbett's weakness in the Republican base After being in office 11 years, 35% are undecided about Tom Corbett. What will they do on 20 May? April 22 at 4:08pm - UPDATE the Republican Women rescinded my invitation to speak. and the Westmoreland County chair Jill Cooper called me personally to tell me that no candidate can distribute literature at the Reagan dinner. This seems to be a new policy adopted after she leaned I was attending. Suspicious minds think both Jill Cooper and Blair Republican women were strong armed by Corbett team. I interpret this as Corbett is scared. Corbett, meanwhile, continues to have major problems [pa-gov-corbett-still-the-one-most-vulnerablegovernor (The Washington Post named Corbett 2014s most vulnerable governor for the tenth straight month); Corbett-confronts-negative-ratings] and is trying to change the subject regarding the Dems [Corbett to Wolf to release tax records; corbett publicly released tax returns calls on dems to follow suit; Corbett releases 5 more years of tax returns, calls on rivals to follow suit] and the Courts [corbett-seeksquicker-ruling-in-gay-marriage-case; Court decisions soon on PA's gay marriage ban?]. As usual, the Sandusky matter continues to be raised almost daily [PENN STATE SHOULD FIRE NEW PRESIDENT and JoePA supporters building downtown bronze statue of the late coach with a Projected cost of $300K, a Target completion date of Nov 2015, and an epic poem in Latin from The Aeneid, relating the experiences of Aeneas after the fall of Troy]. {Also stopping his momentum, WOLF ADMITTED PART OF 'FRESH START' CAMPAIGN PLAN PLAGIARIZED.} The AG-Kane scandal grows, even enveloping Corbett obliquely [Tom Corbett Wants No Blame for Kathleen Kanes Abandoned Sting - Governor: For her to include me in that is kind of misleading.]. When AG-KANE ANNOUNCED SHE WAS NOT TURNING OVER STING FILES TO PHILLY DA, Williams said, 'It is apparent that Ms. Kane doesn't really believe I have a conflict, or she wouldn't have repeatedly suggested I take over this case'; thus, after Kane Stymied Williams Prosecution of Philly Sting, the Philly DA won't give AG Kane a pass claiming he has no conflict of interest in this or any legislative sting case, prompting the conclusion that Kane invited risks by daring Williams on sting. This prompted editorialization that Kane's story keeps changing so much that it Clouds Kane's political potential; ultimately, it seems Two powerful figures [FINA VS. KANE] faced-off in Philly sting case with an undetermined outcome. {It should be noted that this issue has received national attention: In PA, govt in cahoots with its own.} It is this

type of unpredictable issue that could boost the GOP, noting that PENNSYLVANIANS INCREASINGLY ARE UNHAPPY WITH OBAMACARE [regardless of the New-Wrinkle-in the Affordable-Care-Act_Philadelphia]. The Legislature continues to struggle with unresolved issues: The State Stores [House Majority Whip: Plan to sell wine & beer in grocery stores could be on Corbett's desk by May; Sunday booze sales so popular PA Liquor Control Board breaking law limiting how many stores system can operate; State legislators favor gradual changes to alcohol sales], The Pension Bomb [Standard & Poor may lower PA's credit rating; PA lawmakers regret infamous 2001 pension vote; pennsylvania-pension-pain $60B; and, reflecting national implications, Stockton (California) Facing May 12th Trial to Invalidate Public Pension], The Gas Tax [PA BRIDGES WORST IN US; a full-depth total roadway reconstruction of a 10.5-mile stretch of the Northeast Extension from the Mid-County Interchange to the Lansdale Interchange [according to the Turnpike Commission] is starting; when completed, the existing 4-lane roadway with a 4-foot median and 8-to-10-foot shoulders will be converted to a six-lane roadway with three 12-foot travel lanes northbound and southbound, a 26-foot median and 12-foot shoulders]; welfare [allegedly, Pa-denies-75% of-welfare-applicants]; and unions [PA House Republicans threaten to stall labor bill]. There is a possibility that, in PA, there is a new conspiracy of silence regarding corruption. In the turnpike corruption case, one deputy attorney general sits alone at the prosecution table across from nine defense attorneys [who often have separate arguments]; that contrasts sharply with the virtual army of prosecutors the AG's Office sent to court in Bonusgate and Computergate trials in 2010 and 2011. [One wonders whether AG-Kane is understaffing, emulating Corbett-allegations, prompting Bumsted to raise concern as to whether PA Turnpike defendants will walk.] In related news, a PennDOT consultant was arrested for perjury in corruption investigation. {Also, New State Senator: condemn the hanging of portraits of convicted felons in the State Capitol, Pittsburgh will spend $10,700 to repair 4 chandeliers in mayors office, and Fumo resigned from PA Bar.} Other Pennsylvania-related issues could arise regarding tax-credits [Chester still awaits a big score in soccer, Despite $500K investment, movie earns nothing for Lackawanna County and Dem. Governor Secures Tax Breaks to Keep 'House of Cards' in State], cell-phones [Police officers cannot tell the difference between someone who is texting while driving, which is illegal in Pennsylvania, or dialing a phone number, which is not], the economy [pennsylvania-stops-manufacturing-job-slide], and racism [KKK Formed Neighborhood Watch Group In Pennsylvania and Hate group's flyers distributed in Camp Hill]. {Also, after Philly newspaper lawyers to argue auction rules, a Judge ordered Philly Inquirers ownership dissolved and sold by auction; it is unclear What the fight over Philly.com means for the future of Philly journalism.} Philly is viewed as Comcast Country, State of Center City: Signs of distress, Speed cameras may be go up on deadly Roosevelt Blvd., 'Bonnie' of high-living ID theft team back in court over probation (Jocelyn Kirsch, half of Philadelphia's modern-day "Bonnie and Clyde" pair, was barely recognizable in federal court Monday as she made an initial appearance for allegedly violating the terms of her probation.), former-montco-gop-chair-bob-kerns was charged-with-rape-sexual-assault, and moodys-issued a negative-outlook-for-bucks-county.} Just announced were two electoral determinations: a JUDGE WON'T RECONSIDER VOTER ID RULING and VOTER REGISTRATIONS DOWN IN PA. Also noted are three Congressional races: G. Cobb [NJ-1], megan rath [PA-1], and, in pa-13, philly-demsendorsed-boyle. Regarding the PA-House, State Rep. Harry Readshaw (D-Allegheny) is

an incumbent who is touting that he voted against increasing taxes to expand Philadelphia mass transit (which would also benefit Pittsburgh) and a Mailer dredged up an unsavory episode in Diamonds past. {Merely of passing interest is the fact that SANTORUM IS UNDECIDED ABOUT 2016 BID and 2 top PA Republicans [Former Gov.

Phillys problems [Transportation firm quits Philly School District over loss of trust; Philly school district releases budget with $216M deficit and Flexes muscle over charter schools Educational issues also affect politics, as Corbett Stumps for education budget [noting that Nearly 75% want state to contribute more to education] and is attacked on his support of common-core by rick-santorum. {Also, two prep school graduates were arrested for running the drug trade on suburban Philadelphia's Main Line in high schools and colleges.} Of particular importance, due to the expectation that Log Cabin Republicans will be organized in MontCo, is the availability of Straight talk about gay Republican Congressional candidate Carl DeMaio. In sports-related news, the Eagles 2014 schedule features the return of DeSean on week #3 and opines that it is unclear who The Real Chase Utley [the most admired Phillie of his era] actually is, after two injury-marred seasons that had even his wife wondering if his career was finished and after he has said hes back to being his old self. Culturally, a Bank foreclosed Suzanne Roberts Theatre while some fear any Comcast Merger Could Dominate Market for Local Political Advertising; nostalgia is on-tap [WFIL 56 & WIBG 99 Philadelphia - 1970-1983]. Finally, it is noted that Union boss John Dougherty, Jr. has been tapped to return to the Delaware River Port Authority (DRPA) board by Pennsylvania Auditor General Eugene DePasquale.; also, a PHILLY MAN WAS SENTENCED FOR $359K IN WELFARE FRAUD.
