in the 8th Congressional District in 2006 (and he was one of the few who originally endorsed Obama along with my congressman Chaka Fattah when the rest were supporting Hillary) but then he lost in 2010 because voters fell asleep (the District has since been re-drawn). The county is sortof reddish-purple but low Dem turnout in off years keeps throwing it red.
