In November, I will be voting for Tom Wolf against Tom Corbett, as well as any other Democrats running for whatever. My Congressman is Republican, Charlie Dent. This year, he will be running unopposed by any Democratic opponents. Democrats in the 15th district would love to vote for any Democratic candidate against Charlie Dent, but the Democratic Party can't come up with a single candidate to run against Dent. This isn't exactly motivating turnout. (BTW - Dent is not the moderate the media makes him out to be).
