Might as well get this over with: Dems picked up my seat (169th), 54% - 46%. Disappointing for me on a personal level as well. They failed to nab the Lehigh Valley seat though.
How could this have occurred? Was there a weak GOP candidate, high turnout for a key Democratic primary, a strong Democratic candidate? Is this an indicator of trouble for the GOP statewide in November?
The 169th district is inside Philadelphia; and was held by a long term GOP incumbent.
The Lehigh Valley seat was won by Obama 50-48, but the GOP just got 60% there.
