Uh, "no" and "no".
He's a liberal commie and needs to be exposed as such.
Wanna blow his chances? Ask him his thoughts on Obamacare.
Onorato's efforts to continue to raise taxes and fees on the people of Allegheny Co. will hurt him statewide. Jack Wagner, on the other hand, is an honorable war hero, pro-gun, pro-life, and can win a statewide gubernatorial race as he has done quite easily in 2004 and 2008 for Auditor General.
Morbius is correct. On what basis would anyone suggest that Onorato is in any way conservative? He is Rendell's pick to be the next governor. That alone should disqualify him.
The only "conservative" argument I"ve heard is "pro-gun", but if you watch him, the only thing he has really been is "pro-running-for-governor". A "pro-gun" stance is just to keep the locals happy. Same thing with the property taxes – he created the re-assessment mess because he didn't want people pissed off at him, and now that the courts are forcing him to he is trying to stall until after next year's election. Talk about your political hacks.
He may seem conservative compared to other democrats but if he moves up the ladder he will continue to promote and help elect more democrats who may disagree with few conservative positions. He will be like algore whose shift to the left when he left local office to go national would be enough to cause whiplash.
Don't trust him and don't fall for Wagner either.
