PENNSYLVANIA DELIVERS. A number of the seats that have brought Dems the House have come from hotly contested Pennsylvania races. Joe Sestak and Chris Carney have already been declared winners, and now it looks like Lois Murphy and Patrick Murphy will be victorious as well. The war was a deciding factor in these races to be sure -- Sestak, Carney, and Patrick Murphy have all served in the military, and if Murphy wins, he will become the first vet of this war to serve in Congress. Of course, recent scandals cost PA Republicans big time. Allegations that Don Sherwood cheated on his wife and then abused his mistress precluded him from beating Carney. And then of course there's
Curt Weldon
. Still, these Dems have fought hard on sound platforms all along; it's great to see local races here following the way PA has voted in the last few Presidential races.
