Yeah, pretty much, but keep in mind the Senators when he was first elected were John Heinz and Arlen Specter- people who were hardly social conservatives.
Another thing to keep in mind about Pennsylvania is that it still has a lot of commonsense government programs that moderate the worst instincts of the Republicans. I think the elimination (or privatization) of these programs is Corbett’s long game, but it’s about to get a lot harder for him after the statewide offices were swept by the Democrats in this last election.
