Casey beat Smith, a self-funded Armstrong Republican, by more than eight points.
U.S. Senator Bob Casey will continue representing Pennsylvanians, having handily beat Armstrong County businessman Tom Smith, who self-funded most of his campaign. Casey took almost 2.9 million votes - almost 54 percent - compared to Smith's 2.4 million, which was 45 percent. Third party candidate earned just shy of 2 percent. While beating Casey, a moderate Democrat, was initially thought to be a long shot among Republicans, Smith had narrowed the gap by the end of the campaign and had several ads airing on network TV. "To be re-elected is a great honor to me," Mr. Casey, surrounded by his family, told about 300 supporters in the Hilton Hotel & Convention Center ballroom. "I'm grateful for the vote of confidence that the people of …
The Keystone State helped Barack Obama win re-election in what was a good night for Democrats across Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania helped President Barack Obama win re-election as U.S. Sen. Bob Casey fended off a feisty challenge from Republican coal magnate Tom Smith in what turned out to be a big night for Democrats in the Keystone State. Democrats held the lead in three state row office races as of 2:30 a.m. Wednesday with close to 98 percent of the vote in, according to unofficial results. Kathleen Kane, a former assistant district attorney from Lackawanna County, made history by becoming the first Democrat and first woman to be elected as the state's attorney general. The Republican candidate, David Freed, is a two-term district attorney in Cumberland County. Democrat Eugene DePasquale of York leads Republican John Maher of Allegheny in the auditor …

President Obama made his historic pronouncement during an interview with ABC News.
President Barack Obama has publicly come out in support of gay marriage, the first time in history that a sitting U.S. President has ever done so. Obama, who during the last presidential election stated that he opposed gay marriage, gave the news to ABC News' Robin Roberts in an interview that will air on ABC's “Good Morning America" on Thursday.

I once thought you were just an idiot who had nothing but time and the internet to piss people off. But the more I read your comments, I see that you are a broken man, with no hopes for a brighter future, you have no friends and what family you … more ›
Casey, Kane shrug off primary challenges; Montgomery County results.
Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney had little trouble winning the Pennsylvania Republican primary for President of the United States, with his closest competition coming from a man who no longer is in the race. Romney finished with 57 percent of the vote, followed by former Sen. Rick Santorum at 19 percent. Santorum withdrew from the race earlier this month. Texas congressman Ron Paul finished third with 13 percent, and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich was last with 11 percent of the vote. Montgomery County Republicans gave Romney a more emphatic nod than the rest of the state, awarding him about 67 percent of the vote. Santorum captured about 13 percent of the county vote, which still gave him 44 more votes than libertarian …

The marketing plans can be just a few pages or as lengthy as novels. But keep in mind that the more thorough you are in supporting your plan with research, detailed information and financial projections, the more likely you will be to gain support from investors or lenders.

Six more years of this clown? I've been at a few meetings with this guy. Whatever the topic, he looks intimidated. He's weak and cowardly. All he does is try to balance what the Democratic Party wants and what he needs to do to keep voters from revolting. He's found that hiding under his desk and quietly rubber stamping the President's agenda does the trick. Are there any leaders left in … more ›
