After slow start, governor's race heats up in final days
By JOHN GUERRIERO

“For months, the campaign for Pennsylvania governor seemed to be a sleepy affair that hardly befitted the office that's been held by Ed Rendell, Tom Ridge and other well-known political stars.

“. . . Williams, a three-term senator who's running simultaneously for his legislative seat, said many issues separate him from his opponents.
