PA is a strange state. We've been characterized by James Carville as Philly and Pittsburgh with Alabama in between which sounds about right to me. I've lived in Northeastern PA my whole life. I'm a coal miner's granddaughter, daughter and wife. There are some right-wing teabagger types around here but the majority is Democratic. Progressive is a stretch.

I agree with you about Sen Sanders. Too bad we don't have some clones in the state house here in PA. I wish I could offer you some hope at finding an honest politician but I don't think it's possbile. I just try to figure out who are the least corrupt.

Thanks for sticking around. I think you'll be glad that you did.
