The polls are not yet closed in Pennsylvania's 12th Congressional District. Yet some astute observers are seeing a Tim Burns win in the cards. Why predict a Burns win in a district that is 2 to 1 Democrat? Let's go through the reasons:
1-This years big political theme: The theme of 2010 is change. The 12th district has been Democrat since 1974.It 's hard
for Critz to argue he is an agent for change when he is of the same party as Obama and worked for Murtha. Indeed, he
campaigns that he can bring home pork like Murtha. This is what got Burns in the hunt in the first place.

Two words: Murtha pork.
This guy will win.
When do the polls close for that?
Should be closed now... they are counting the other races in PA.
The Specter/Sestak race will increase Dem turnout, and that helps the Dem in the special house election. Special elections are about turnout.
I bet a 2% win for the dirty RAT Critz.
CRITZ, MARK S. (DEM)
7,408 59.6%
BURNS, TIM (REP)
4,745 38.1%
CRITZ, MARK S. (DEM)
7,408 59.6%
BURNS, TIM (REP)
4,745 38.1%
Same old, same old... predictable PA-12. They LOVE their pork WAY too much to change.
Critz now leads Burns 54-43 with 42% tallied. Burns is closing in but has a ways to go with only 58% left.
Critz , Mark Dem 48,324 53%
Burns , Tim GOP 40,485 45%
Agoris , Demo Lib 1,941 2%
415 of 597 Precincts Reporting - 70%
Well, that sucks.
