Keith Rothfus (R) just pulled ahead of Jason Altmire (D) 51/49! I can’t BELIEVE THIS! Altmire ran on his record of voting against Obamacare...if Rothfus pulls this off, I can go to bed a happy man.
Now if Keith Rothfus can edge out Jason Altmire I think this night will be perfect as the ultimate tidal wave.
I worked as a poll watcher on behalf of the Rothfus campaign and several voters there thanked me in very generous terms; enthusiasm on the whole seemed to run high. By comparison, when I finished my shift and went to vote at my polling place, which was absolutely swarming with Democrats in 2008, there was nary a soul there.
