Critz vs. Burns for PA-12

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

The district was drawn specifically for Murtha and his pork ensured that it would have been difficult to dislodge him. However the district has moved to the right along with the rest of Western PA. Also consider that according to Green Papers, Col. Bill Russell has $3 Million, I guess cash on hand, Green Papers doesn't specify. http://www.thegreenpapers.com/G10/PA

I can't think of a better way to make this a cakewalk.

Russell (R) 60%
Hafer (D) 38%

How is this election going to play out with party candidates anyway? That is, will all candidates run in some sort of jungle primary, or will the various party committees choose their respective nominees? The latter, IIRC, is how PA election law works, but I haven't been registered there for almost a decade and a half.

The later. PA is a party machine state for the most part. A jungle primary would not fit with that reputation.
