PA 13

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

I'll agree that Toomey probably wouldn't carry Montco or Bucks but he'd certainly take a good amount of votes in both. Part of his dist (PA15) is in Montco. To say he wouldn't win Chester and Delaware is a bit of a stretch.

Both Gore and Rendell won Delaware, and Rendell won Chester.

I think PA-13 gave Gore around 56% of the vote (the new district, not the old one, which voted for Gore marginally). There is no district in the country that voted for Gore that highly and is held by a Republican. So I'm confident we keep this seat.

Section 8 shouldn't be an issue at all. Sounds to me like a state or city program. I've never heard of it until I came here. Therefore, there is pretty much nothing someone in Congress, a federal office could do about it.

But I definately don't see us losing this seat. There isn't a single district in the country like PA-13 held by a Republican. Gore's best districts held by Republicans are NY-27 (which will likely change since Quinn's retiring) and CT-2. Both gave him around 54%.

btw anyone else find it a little odd we have two Republicans supposedly from the same district who appeared at pretty much the same time?

Schwartz's best weapon = DeLay and Hastert

all Schwartz needs to do is remind people that a vote for Brown is a vote to keep DeLay and Hastert in power, and keep their extremist right wing agenda running.

And Brown is supporting Bush. If she was smart she'd at least not endorse either side.

that's a pretty close for a 56% Gore district. at least 10% of registered Republicans must've voted Gore.

Wow. This is one long thread.

But a deserving one for such an unimportant CD. 

True. This seat hasn't been competitive since the thread has been created and won't be for quite some time.
