Lou Barletta, a good change in 11th District [PA-11]

Among the congressional races that political pundits identify as most likely to produce upsets, the 11th District stands out. U.S. Rep. Paul Kanjorski, 65, an 18-year congressman, often has cast votes with which we agree, and we've regularly supported his re-election in the past. Also, it is valuable to the district and to the state to have a Democrat with seniority, even in a Republican-controlled House.

Yup, this is only common-sense. Kanjorski needs to go. He's certainly no Joe Murtha, who's a Dem far more worthy of respect.

MAYOR BARLETTA OF HAZLETON, PA HAS BEEN A FAILURE IN THIS TOWN. HE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEPRESSING CONDITION THIS TOWN IS IN. IT IS THE MODERN VERSION OF "TOBACCO ROAD" AS A FOREVER REPUBLICAN, HE IS NOT GETTING MY VOTE.
