...infamous Supergun. She says she warned company officers that Kennametal was not following export regulations, and questioned other company practices. Within nine months of being hired, she was asked by her superiors to resign for being "uncooperative." Unable to find a new job, Gasior moved back into her parents' suburban Pittsburgh home...

Bradley's liberal, biracial coalition of suburban whites and inner-city blacks has been replaced by a surprisingly multi-ethnic conservative coalition.
