I have to admit, I'm somewhat surprised and definitely impressed with the amount of political jobs that Keystone Progress posts on their Jobs page.

I don't know, I think it's a lost cause for him here, but I don't have anyone paying for a $100K wardrobe, either.

McCain would have had a great shot at winning in Pennsylvania if he had selected Ridge as his running mate.

But McCain's campaign could easily fall for it.

Pennsylvania's web-based activists working their right-to-know probably should bookmark this site.

Pa. said to be ill-equipped for gas-drilling rush

A top state environmental official says Pennsylvania is ill-equipped to handle the huge influx of interest in drilling for a potentially lucrative natural gas formation.

John Hanger, the acting secretary of the state Department of Environmental Protection, made the comments during a hearing in Harrisburg before the state House Environmental Resources and Energy Committee.

Hanger told lawmakers that he needs dozens more employees to review drilling permit applications and inspect drilling sites over the Marcellus Shale gas formation.

He also said he is concerned the state will run out of capacity to treat the contaminated water left over from the drilling process, but that state laws are largely adequate for protecting the environment.

Pennsylvanians have to pay attention to all the costs related to drilling for natural gas in this state. Hanger's warning against the "get rich quick" mentality.

And proudly put it up in the yard. I tend to think that these things are not convincing of anything unless you see them in mass - now if a dozen of my immediate neighbors put up Obama yard signs as well, perhaps it would be more impressive upon the neighbors who are still undetermined in their voting preference. And it's not like people are going to drive by our house and say to themselves that "if THEY'RE voting for Obama, I have to also". But it's a signal of depth of support, I guess, and it ought to keep any McCain doorhanger people off my yard!
