It's one of only three open House seats currently held by Democrats that Republicans have a decent chance of capturing. The current congressman, Ron Klink, is leaving to run for the Senate seat held by Republican Rick Santorum. The Republican in the race is state Sen. Melissa Hart, one of the most highly regarded GOP state legislators in the nation, a very intelligent, articulate and dynamic conservative. A prominent Democrat considering the race is sports marketing executive Jim Rooney, grandson of the founder of the Pittsburgh Steelers and son of the current Steelers CEO. The Rooney name is well known and well loved in the area, and Jim Rooney has significant financial resources as well as a host of wealthy friends. The district is blue-collar and heavily unionized, and conservative on social issues. President Clinton carried it both in 1992 and in 1996 but didn't get a majority of the vote either time. -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.
