Who will win PA-9 General?

Unfortunately probably Shuster, even though he's objectively terrible. I wouldn't be confident at all about this race, considering we've rarely gotten anything like it and in cases where we have (several California races in 2012, especially Stark v Swalwell or Baca v McLeod) they tend to break against the incumbent. The (D) on the ballot will hinder Halvorson, though.

I have a question: what type of Democrat you must be to vote for ultra-right Halvorson in primary? Is this area full of James Eastland-type southern Dixiecrats, despite being in Pennsylvania???)))))

You just have to be upset about Shuster using his position to give favors to his lobbyist girlfriend. Not all elections necessarily have to be about ideology, especially for lower-level positions like this.
