PA09 setting up an upset

Submitted by DvilleDem on April 24, 2008 - 9:06pm

According to the website of the Commonwealth Department of State election returns, Democratic challenger Tony Barr received more votes in the April 22nd primary than did the incumbent Bill Shuster (R PA09).  Tony Barr received 57,489 votes, while Shuster received only 56,921 votes.  While hardly a landslide, the 1% Barr edge going into the general election makes an upset in the 9th District a distinct possibility.

 

“Obviously, we have a lot of work to do” Barr said, “but we are eager to bring our message to the voters in the 9th District.  The Bush/Shuster era hasn’t been good for the 9th District and we are confident that the voters are looking to make a change, but we still have some work to do”

Way cool.

But as you say, lots of work to do yet.

Good luck!
