Barack Obama and Joe Biden aren't the only big-name politicians being sworn-in Tuesday.Pennsylvania Attorney General Tom Corbett (and Pennsylvania's next governor) will be sworn in for a second term at 2:00 p.m. at the Forum Building, Walnut St. and Commonwealth Ave., Harrisburg, according to his office.
OK, I added that part about "Pennsylvania's next governor." But that's not a stretch. In the past 40 years, the two political parties have traded the governor's mansion every eight years. It's the GOP's turn in 2010 and Corbett is the favorite to run on the Republican ticket and win the governor's office.
Corbett received more than 3 million votes last November, keeping pace with the 3.2 million votes Obama received in his landslide victory in Pennsylvania.
That kind of popularity with voters, along with proven ability to raise campaign cash, makes Corbett than man to beat in 2010.
