East vs. West, news & sports

6:10 p.m.: Interesting sports backdrop to Primary Election Day. Phils play the Pirates tonight at Citizens Bank Park. In other words, east vs. west in Pa. Very similar to Dem gubernatorial race, where two guys from the east, state Sen. Anthony Williams and Montco commissioner Joe Hoeffel, are squaring off against Dan Onorato and state Auditor General Jack Wagner, both from Pittsburgh.

One thing seems certain. With state Attorney General Tom Corbett expected to fend off state Rep. Sam Rohrer, it's a pretty good bet that the next governor of Pennsylvania will come from the west. I guess we owe tham that after eight years of Ed Rendell.
