    Hazelton Standard-Speaker ^ | Wednesday, 16 May 2007 | By L.A. TARONE
    Lou Barletta won a third term as mayor of Hazleton by thumping all comers in an historic election Tuesday. Barletta hammered Republican challenger Dee Deakos 1,343 votes to 80 in what appears to be the biggest landslide in city history. By percentage, Barletta got 94.4 percent of the vote, while Deakos got 5.6 percent.The shocker was Barletta’s winning the Democratic nomination through his write-in campaign. He beat Mike Marsicano by a near 2-1 margin, 1,211 votes to 699, according to unofficial results. Again by percentage, Barletta got 63.4 percent of the vote to Marsicano’s 36.6 percent.
