Old news… c’mon Times-Leader!
Two of the hottest and most watched congressional races in the nation could be centered in Northeastern Pennsylvania.Incumbent freshman Democrat Chris Carney will likely face a serious challenge for the 10th Congressional District seat in November – but not until a hot primary race is settled for the Republican nomination.
If Hazleton Mayor Lou Barletta, a Republican, decides to take on longtime incumbent Democrat Paul Kanjorski in the 11th District, the region could be the focus of two attention-grabbing contests.
Combine that with the election of six state representatives from the area and the U.S. presidential election, and 2008 promises to be a busy political year in Luzerne County.
Kanjorski
It’s time for Paul to step aside, or be beaten. Barletta is as good as any, I guess.
11th Congressional District
2008 will be a Democratic year nationally as well as the 11th. Don’t be fooled by candidates who are a one issue candidate and financing their campaign on the backs of local taxpayers!
