A number of GOP VIPs, including President Bush, have campaigned in the state recently to help solidify the party's strong national showing in November; Democrats, mindful that they already need two Jim Jeffords-like defections to retake the Senate, would prefer...

...million into the city’s economy, bring 50,000 visitors and create roughly 5,000 jobs. Philadelphia, the site of the Republican National Convention in 2000, estimates the direct economic impact of that convention at $170 million. But Philadelphia’s Mayor Edward Rendell, a Democrat who this month was elected Governor of Pennsylvania, claims the direct benefit is only one-fiftieth of what the city gained indirectly—benefits stemming from public works projects financed in connection with the convention...
