Santorum is usually pretty good and reliable. Specter has to be on good behavior because he's trying to stay in office one more term.
Dan, you're always welcome to move to PA. CCW = $19 for five years. A background check, but no fingerprints. Can carry anywhere except courthouse and some public facilities. No training requirements. Lot of ranges and progun groups.
And it's closer to DC so you can go to CPAC with ease.
$19 for 5 years and no prints? Damn that sounds good - instead of over $100, plus the training course.(over $100 although I do support voluntary training). It's part of the price of being the first post Columbine CCW state)
My options open up this summer or fall when I FINALLY finish my degree(I finally went back to school last summer).
I'd like to stay and continue my fight up here where I have a lot of options and close friends that will go and have gone to bat for me. Being a life long resident in my county(outside some college time), I also have an option to run for a small office here which I wouldn't have in another state.
But if the $$$$ and/or location is right I may pack up and become a 'reverse flatlander'.(Instead of one of those that brings the city with them when they move out - I'd be the opposite)
