Since the redistricting was by the D laden State Supreme Court, the conventional wisdom was that in and of itself was worth several seats to the D’s but everything seems real close throughout the state.
If you want the bell weather HR race here, watch the Charlie Dent seat in the Lehigh Valley. If the D, Susan Wild wins, it could be a wave in the state. If the R’s hold, that will be a huge help. She’s a colleague of mine and I like her but she’s way to lib.
Another interesting race is my rep, Scott Perry, conservative vet, great guy. I don’t even hold his Orange alliegance against him. He had a very safe district, but is in a dog fight due to the redistricting. He could go down if Trump is the issue. Hope not.
On the Senate, Casey is a dolt, I won’t vote for him. Can’t stand Barletta’s sycophancy to Orange, but can’t stand Casey either. Will be a game time call if I pull the lever for Lou or not. Conventional wisdom is that Casey will win easily, but I’m not so sure. The guy is just such a nonentity.
So, there is my honest take on things here.
