It'll be interesting to see the internals, when they're out (I did look).


Old, out of touch and a little sleazy. He's not really especially corrupt or anything, at least not by the normal standards of Congress (or compared to previous Reps for this general area) but that's almost beside the point. Barletta (who ran him relatively close in 2002) also has a personal following in parts of the district gained, in part, by whipping up anti-immigrant sentiment. Most polls done have shown abnormally high numbers of undecided voters.

Kanjorski was featured in a Fox news special on corruption this summer. Since that special went after 3 Republicans and just this Democrat its hard to say it is a partisan attack. Kanjorski is corrupt. He gave millions of dollars in earmarks to his own families businesses which then squandered waisted or stole the money. He also has an F on Immigration from Americans for Better Immigration(ABI) which has gave more fodder to Barletta.
