CNN

[...] his home state... despite having his backside kicked among the grassrootsts by Toomey...  he has come out in support of Arlen Specter, after Specter turned away from the GOP... and of course the GOP is supposed to take him [...]

Im not a fan of Tom Ridge at all, but good luck to him if he does run for the Senate Seat, everybody deserves a chance. and I really hope he does run against Pat Toomey.

ib: These people at CNN know what they are doing. Do you really think they are for Obama? They are trying to find a Republican to challenge him in 2012. So, they are going around trying to rehabilitate these worn-out failures whose policies and ideologies have destroyed and divided America. The idea is to make these people more acceptable to the mainstream by 2012. Once they achieve that, they will create a scandal about Obama around 2012 to deny him a second term. All I am asking is for Colin Powell to be ready. If they try to deny Obama a second term (assuming he deserves it, based on his performance now), Colin should come out and run as an independent. That way, the Republican vote will be split and CNN manipulators and propagandists will fail in their machinations!

Typical Sunday morning on State of the Union...John King's friendly interview with yet another Republican and a string of blogs trying to make it like each has a idea in his head that relates to the reality of the 21st century.

I applaud Tom Ridge for all his answers to John King. John King has the right to a secret voting ballot. Why John King thinks Tom Ridge doesn't have the same right. It appears to me that CNN needs a new "Moderator" for State of the Union. A person less subject to wear their "Party" on their face and sleeve and asks questions to guest that reflect that persons ideals, not John King's. King challenged Tom Ridge's party affiliation, asking whether Ridge sided with Powell or Limbaugh. Ridge responded with dignity and conviction. Yeah!

Pennsylvania has a Dem for 8 years and then a Rep. for 8 years. Remember that, but Ridge what did you do when you got elected to the Governorship, you signed an executive order to put to death who was on death row. The late Gov. Bob Casey was against the death penalty, but did not abolish it, he was against abortion, but he did not abolish it. He made changes in Abortion rights!

Why are you covering Ridge so much CNN? Who cares what he thinks? He's just another wanta be republican in liberal clothes.
