U.S. Rep. Pat Meehan has raised more than $2 million in the current election cycle, widening the financial gap between himself and his Democratic challenger George Badey.
The unexpected wave of media coverage and controversy sparked by House Majority Leader Mike Turzai’s comments about the Voter ID law at a state party committee meeting last month seems to have given PA Democrats not only a great talking point, but a way to fundraise.
Good morning politicos, here’s the buzz. Cawley decides against holding a special in SD-37, picked by our readers as the top Senate race in the state; Casey backs Obama on ending tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans; and see our analysis of Romney’s (and Santorum’s, Paul’s and Gingrich’s) PA vote.
The decision over whether to call for a special election in the 37th district for the seat of retired Sen John Pippy has officially been made, with Lt. Gov. Cawley deciding against it.
Having already asked which Senate race will be the most competitive, so we thought it only fair to ask our politicos how the House races will play out this fall. Will the GOP win big in another tidal wave? Will the Ds fight back? Or will they both break even come November?
Some races come down to a handful of votes – and a couple of points is generally considered a handy win. But this decision was a 15-point spread: PoliticsPA readers picked the SD-37 race between Raja and a soon-to-be-named Dem competitor as the cycle’s No. 1.

Good morning politicos, here’s the buzz. Randy Vulakovich is on TV; the lawsuits against the redistricting plan finally materialize; and Manan Trivedi gets some help from the left wing.
Republican Randy Vulakovich will air the first television ads of the 40th district Senate special election on August 7. The Allegheny County state Rep. faces epidemiologist Dr. Sharon Brown in the contest to fill the seat of convicted ex-Senator Jane Orie.
