• The Inquirer offers a discussion of Forrester's gubernatorial campaign, promising to profile his opponent's "campaign style" in a matching piece soon.

  Whether given before a small group ready to sign his ubiquitous property-tax placard, with a high-profile politician, or to a large group, Forrester's stump speeches are always filled with intensity and peppered with humor.
