Pundits Rank Dent-Callahan Race

Pa2010 - 5th most competitive Congressional race in Pennsylvania. The top two competitive races are for open seats. Interestingly, the races being run by incumbent Democrats Kathy Dahlkemper and Paul Kanjorski are considered more competitive than Dent's race in a Democratic district.

Cook Political Report - Leaning Dent's way in a slightly Democratic District.

PoliticsPA - 7th most competitive Congressional race in Pennsylvania. Democrats Kanjorski, Dahlkemper, Carney and Holden are considered more vulnerable.

National Journal - 25th most competitive Congressional race in the county. "Can Callahan hang in there while facing a national headwind?"

  1. Wow are you cherry picking the quotes....

    This is one of the toughest races in the country and is all but a toss up, to characterize it any other way is disingenuous.

  2. I'm not cherry picking anything and link to the sources involved. But I admit a bias in favor of Dent.

  3. Well lets hope people actually take the time to click on the links and see the context.

    I for one can't wait to see the next six months. The story is just starting to unfold now.

  4. the race had better be leaning toward Dent. he's the incumbent. The moment the race starts leaning away from the incumbent, that's when it becomes really interesting.

    Dent should win this 55-45 b/c he has every advantage he could ever want.

  6. Gallup came out with a poll showing that this Republican whirlwind everyone is talking about, might not happen. Republicans are losing interest in the midterm elections.

  7. Republicans will crawl over broken glass in a blizzard to vote. They always do. It's the Independents who are most prized.

  8. Has Dent taken any BP money? Obama's their biggest recipient and his relaxed attitude toward their Katrina is an indicator that they own him and he appreciates their money. Is Dent as filthy as drill baby drill Barack?

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
