The city of Johnstown has had its share of suffering. In 1889 more than 2,000 people lost their lives here in one of America’s worst floods. Since then industries have come and gone.

This time around he is being judged on his record, not just his rhetoric.

That will secure a Republican majority in the court for many years to come, and could even influence the election itself.
