Chime in: In your district how does it look for a Democrat winning/keeping a Congressional seat? [View all]

In my district, as far as I can tell Representative Tim Murphy(R-PA) unfortunately will keep his seat. The opponent Maggi is putting up a good fight, but I don't know.

Senator Bob Casey(D-PA), will in probability keep his seat. The opponent Tom Smith, is a teabagger from the beginning. There are ads that show Smith having had 500 injuries and 2000 complaints against the coal mines he owned. There is also video of him stating he had started a teabag party in his county.

i constantly email Murphy when he says/does something tha I totally disagree with. I always receive a well thought out reponse composed by his staff within a few days.

Senator Casey I emailed once, I forget why, but I know I was in disagreement. It took 3 weeks before I got any response.
