Fisher has a proposal to sell off the State Stores, with the proceeds going for special ed. I don't think you'd ever see Rendell pee in the union's Wheaties like that.

I'm sure KenK would do something similar were he ever to be elected. He's the candidate whose philosophy really matches up with mine on a bunch of major issues at once....gay rights *and* the right to self-defense, for example.

Mixing just those two issues makes me demographically marginalized, I can't really vote for *any* of the candidates without feeling, as Tom Leher so eloquently put it, "like a Christian Scientist with appendicitis". Rendell's a tax-and-spend gun-grabber with no cred on state-level issues, Fisher seems RKBA-friendly but his constituency hates queers. KenK is a true believer but would be ecstatic to break into double digits at the polls.
