The Cook Political Report usually rates LV Congressman Charlie Dent's district as "lean Republican." But in a sign of Dent's growing strength, his seat is now upgraded to "likely Republican."\
Who cares? The DCCC and other contributors are going to be far less likely to pour money into a race that they are going to lose.

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.
You forget this "Paid for by the committee to reelect Charlie Dent"
ReplyDeleteNot useful until we see what the post-redistricting borders are.
ReplyDeleteJon if you think the lines will be redrawn against Dent, you're certifiable.
ReplyDeletedo u know why city hall in bethlehem was evacuated this week? the BS meter on the second floor over flowed
ReplyDeleteJon thinks?
ReplyDeletewhy hasn't bethlehem city council printed the minutes of their meetings since may 18th. hiding even more rubber stamp games?
ReplyDeleteNext thing you know Geeting will be putting the blame on republicans for the 500+ point drop in the DJIA. He won't blame Callahan for the tax increase and $340 million worth of debt though.
ReplyDeleteI upgraded Jon Geeting to "leaning communist" this week!
Do all you can Bernie. The problem with Dent is the teabaggers think he is too liberal and the Dem's now know he wants to end medicare and destroy social security. It will be tough to hide from his votes.
ReplyDeleteGeeting is as weak and out of touch as bethlehem council as they walk down the multi million dollar waste greenway to suck up their free muiskslop tickets in the true tradition of dem union suckers
ReplyDeleteAnon 932, you're right that Dent is disliked by both the fringe right and the fringe left.
ReplyDeleteHe therefore fits with 80% of the population of the Lehigh Valley.
That's why he wins time after time.
I do feel bad for Geeting, he just can't comprehend why 90% of the population disagrees with him (the 10% fringe right and the 80% of the rest of us).
That's what Dewey said about Truman.
ReplyDeleteWhy does it matter what Mr. Geeting thinks is useful? He is a useful idiot for the far left. As I have seen commented upon numerous times, he doesn't live in the Lehigh Valley and he denies his progessive agenda.
ReplyDeleteWho cares whether Dent is reelected? he's always been irrelevent..All the Teanuts will get their asses kicked out after the debt fiasco ( and i'm sure many more to come) Then charlie will be back in the minority and once again remain irrelevant.
