Snowmageddon or not, Pennsylvania State Democratic Party bigwigs met this weekend. News that State Auditor Jack Wagner had support of more than half the delegates was encouraging to me. Could it be that Democrats were finally going to put forth a candidate for Governor who was qualified for the job and was more than a pile of populist rhetoric? That's what rebuffing Dan Onorato and his multi-mill...
