Carney would be a HORRIBLE candidate! He lost by 10 points in 2010! Holden should run here.

Holden is out of Washington, and that’s probably for the best. Matthew Cartwright pretty much ruined any credibility he had and if he decided to run against Barletta, all Lou would have to do is run old Cartwright ads against Holden and case-closed. Vinsko is probably the best choice, and he could do it if he gets his act together and mounts a legitimate campaign next time, complete with actual staff and organizers. What the Democrats need is someone from Luzerne County or Columbia/Mountour Counties. There aren’t enough votes in the southern part of the district to make a difference for a Democrat from that area in a general election. In other words, Gene Stilp needs to stay home. In fact, if the Dems could give Vinsko all of Stilp’s energy and dogged determination, combined with Vinsko’s ability to raise money and knowledge of the issues, you’d have the perfect candidate.

Holden could win this seat! But the problem is that he DOES NOT LIVE in the Congressional District. I am aware that you don’t have to live in the district but I believe a candidate would be far more successful if they did.

This seat is beatable but I see Holden as the candidate to do it. He is very well known and popular in much of the Distrtict, esp Dauphin County. Why does Stilp run for this seat? He came within a razor thin margin of beating Helm for the State House seat in the very Republican year of 2010. Why doesn’t he try to unseat Helm which is doable?

When you don’t spend any money, you can afford to run every two years….and lose.

If the Dems can’t get anyone more capable than Gene to run, they shouldn’t even bother.

Well if he does decide to run, I guess the RNC will have to release any of the footage of him at the Williamsport Holiday Inn.

Stilp stay home! You got crushed by 17 points and your props are nothing more than a sideshow. Vinsko could have ran a more complete campaign.

Carney should try it! Why not? Vinsko should be the one making the run for LT. Gov. Why he is not considering it is beyond me?

Chris can really pull this off. He represented at least a quarter of this district and was on tv in half of it during his time in Congress. Lou Barletta is not a good Congressman.

Barletta will win by 20 next time. He will be in Congress as long as he wants to stay.
