Great. There was still a tiny lingering doubt about this seat. I greatly prefer guaranteed pick ups even though this means the DSCC can devote more to other states but that also frees up cash for the NRSC.

Not quite. You guys still have to deal with a primary, which takes money from other races (though the NRSC won't have to spend)

I don't see a reason why they'd have to spend money there now.

Republican PA Congressman Todd Platts is retiring. Very surprising. Platts is known for having a bit of a moderate streak in a very conservative, safe GOP seat. That will certainly be an interesting open seat primary.

Check out the PA Redistricting thread in the Political Geography and Demographics thread for the map. Otherwise, check out the state's official redistricting website: http://www.redistricting.state.pa.us/

He voted with the GOP leadership 89% of the time; not really 'moderate', but thats pretty low relative to the rest of the caucus.

Which is why I used "streak." He was also known for angling for a spot in the Obama Administration.

One of the most unintentionally hilarious posts in awhile.

Just saw it on Politico and the NC 2012 thread but figured I'd post it here, too, for those that don't read the other sources.
