Joan Orie Melvin is maintaining a 6% lead over Jack Panella for the lone vacancy on the Commonwealth Supreme Court. This contest is considered critical due to a 3-3 party split in the current court makeup. Panella had been heavilly favored to win, but in the waning days of the campaign, his lead dwindled and he begin running attack ads on Orie Melvin as a right wing extremist.

I was lukewarm about Orie Melvin as she doesn't exactly have the best conservative credentials. Panella tried to sell himself as a non-partisan moderate Democrat, but when the public decided that the Commonwealth had suffered enough under the yoke of Obama's rulers, Panella turned to attack ads.

Thanks for the report.
Philadelphia will manufacture as many votes as it takes for the scumbag rat to win the election. In the past, the Philly rats would at least have to keep an eye out for the FBI, but not these days. Nowadays the FBI is just another corrupt tool of Ubama and Holder and the rest of the rats. Anything goes....
Sorry, but I think the rat will end up with more "votes".
More interesting is Republican candidates in the Court of Common Pleas are running nearly even in Democrat strongholds like Montgomery County, so voters really are sending a message to ObaMao.
Karl Rove on Fox just commented on your Judgeship race and several others in PA and some others in State races in VA and other states across the country - where Repubs are leading or have won them all.
Good! I overheard one of the local union hack poll workers at out local precinct lamenting the fact that Democrats were having a harder time winning local offices despite being over 60% of Westmoreland County’s registered voters.
Funny how this jobless “recovery” is affecting even long time Dems!!!
I find it interesting that in the rural PA county where I live, the election results show that the Republicans were voting in about a 2 to 1 ratio compared to the Democrats. The conservatives are motivated. Usually the ratio here is about 1 to 1. Pennsylvania has a large rural population, if the trend is statewide the numbers will demand attention.
I’m going to bed. I see statewide precincts reporting still is frozen at 97.43%. I hope the 2.57% isn’t enough to reverse what has been a good night’s trend in our state.
