...candidates differ little on the issues. Both promise to back measures that would revive Pennsylvania's coal and steel industries. Both have endorsed a mixture of tax cuts and "supply side" incentives to improve the national economy. Both back the MX mobile missile system; Specter charges that Flaherty is "soft on national defense" because he opposes the defunct B-l bomber and neutron bomber programs, but Flaherty counters that he supports the cruise missile and Trident submarine programs...
