Critz is back up to 50.3%.
75% is in. Whats left?
Critz should have the edge, but depends on what parts of Westmoreland are out. Anyway, too close to call for now.
I think Holden is done.
Well all those Pubs put in Schuylkill dumped into Holden's CD to prop him up were wasted then (the county should have been chopped). They could have been used profitably elsewhere, where they were and are rather badly needed. Pity.
And if Altmire goes down, the Pubs should pick up another seat without much sweat is my surmise. I don't see Grumps (and his ilk) voting for Critz in the General, and he would for Altmire (as would I if I lived there). So there you have it.
Critz won in 2010. If November is a close Obama win or better, he'll be fine.
Winning in a bad year for your party is evidence of strength, but it's far from overwhelming. Three Democrats who won in 1994 were defeated in 1996, after all, and they didn't have to deal with redistricting.
