It's hard to tell much from the polling on the race in Pennsylvania to succeed term-limited Democratic Gov. Ed Rendell because about seven in 10 registered voters say they don't know whom they will support. But for the moment, the leading Democrat is Dan Onorato, the Allegheny County executive, and the top Republican is state Attorney General Tom Corbett, according to a Franklin & Marshall College poll conducted Jan. 18-24.

Onorato is the preference of 10 percent of Democrats, with four others at 4 percent or lower. Seventy-two percent are undecided.

Corbett gets 23 percent of the Republican vote and state Rep. Sam Rohrer, who is claiming to be the more conservative choice, polls 5 percent, with 69 percent undecided.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
