Rove: People in Pennsylvania ‘Really Do Cling to Their Guns and Their Faith

From Newshounds, where they watch Fox so we don’t have to (thanks!), we are presented with another hot, steaming pile of GOP hypocrisy:

First Sarah Palin scared the you-know-what out of every sane American, and now Joe the Plumber is costing McCain poll numbers. After a week of campaigning in Joe’s [...]
