Melissa Hart and Pittsburgh Steelers scion Jim Rooney. Alas, it won't occur. Rooney has decided not to make the race. Democrats claim they have two heavyweights anyhow: Lawrence County prosecutor Matthew Mangino and state Rep. Terry Van Horne. Maybe so, and this is a fundamentally Democratic (but potentially Reagan Democratic) district, but there are few state legislators as adept as Hart. While we're talking about Pennsylvania, why haven't I heard about a challenger to Republican (and former Melissa Hart staffer) Phil English in the Erie-based, likewise Democratic, 21st District? ~Tiresias CapitolWatch Insider provides news from the inner workings of our nation's capital, including upcoming legislation, what's happening behind the scenes, and how the actions of Congress really affect you.
