Hoeffel supporters:

If Joe loses to Specter, do you think we could see him square off against Santorum? Cause I'd love to see Joe in there anyway I can!

1. Joe won't lose

There's a Democratic tide swelling.

3. i really hope you're right...

2. Worried about Joe

He's still pretty far down in the polls versus Specter. Anybody have a sense of how well his tour of the state helped his name recognition?

[PittPoliSci]

4. well, i ran into him twice.

and i think he remembered me the second time, which means i think he's an amazing man, who probably did well during the tour.

5. name recognition

I live in the Lehigh Valley and have seen no Hoeffel signs or bumper stickers whatsoever. I think everyone's attention and money is going toward Kerry, which is good in a way, but it sucks for the local races.

Anyone know how Driscoll is doing in the 7th? I saw a TV ad from Charlie Dent over the weekend slamming Driscoll from being from the Philly burbs.

6. Driscoll is running in the 15th

Dent would probably have won without the carpetbagging issue. He is fairly popular and is well-matched ideologically for the district. There are a few Democrats in the districts who could have beaten him (Morganelli, Cunningham) but they chose not to run.
