PA 11 - Barletta may challenge Kanjorski again.

Give me a break.  If Barletta could not even get close to Kanjorski in 2002, a great Republican year, he sure wont be able to in 2008.

I'm not saying anything about his chances, but Barletta seems like a far stronger candidate now that he's nationally known than he was back in 2002.

PA-11 voted 53%-47% for Kerry after giving Al Gore a 54%-43% win in 2000.  I suppose the Democratic nominee should win by about 55%-45% in 2008? 

Depends on the nominees.  Pennsylvania has this awful breed of moderate Democrats where they're socially conservative but fiscally liberal—to me, the worst of both worlds.

I can take it that you're not a Murtha fan.

Living in Pennsylvania was a political nightmare for me.  Thank God for the suburban Philadelphia politicians.

I doubt he'd make it mast the R primary if he tried. 

His anti-immigration stance and policies are going to make him damaged goods for just about anywhere outside Hazleton.  Even within Luzerne County, other Reps are not too fond of him. 

I can't see people from the "T" going ga-ga for him.

IMHO, of course   :-)

Safe Toomey.
