Political PING for you boys...
Hart’s district is just north of where I live, but word on the street is that she was a bit of a RINO, and that Jason Altmire won by running to the right of her.
I used to live there, in 2000 when Hart beat a listless Democrat, I think his name was Van Horne. She struck me as moderate-conservative, business-friendly in an, if i recall, Jack Kemp manner.
The district has a lot of Catholic Democrats in smaller factory towns along the rivers, including the also-listless congressman she replaced, Klink, when he lost badly to Santorum.

Before she runs again it would be wise of her to learn why she got beat, and take steps to correct the problem.
She’s no RINO, but if social conservatives delved into her personal life, they’d probably abandon her in droves, even though she’s been a loyal congressman.
Altmeyer is stuffed shirt, the rematch will be interesting.
