Corbett and Delco

I used my print column today to talk politics.

Specifically, it is shaping up to be a fascinating election season here in Delaware County and across Pennsylvania.

That's in no small part due to the guy who will be sitting at the top of the Republican ticket. That would be Gov. Tom Corbett, whose poll ratings are in the basement.

What is interesting is how the local GOP will react to the governor, who has indicated he intends to spend a lot more time here in the crucial Philly suburbs.

Just Friday he made a stop at the Secane Train Station to announce a major improvement project, the result of one of the very few sucesses of his first-term agenda, that massive $2.3 billion transportation package.

There is a guy here in Delco that Corbett should become best friends with. That would be County Council Chairman Tom McGarrigle, who is the GOP endorsed candidate for the open 26th District state Senate seat created by the retirement of longtime Sen. Ted Erickson.

I explain it all in my print column.
