Pennsylvania is due to lose one congressional seat as a result of the once-per-decade redistricting process, and the Republican-controlled state legislature combined the seats represented by the two Democrats, creating a new 12th District.

Sounds like they were gerrymandered into Democrat majority districts. No loss to us.

Actuallly, while the new PA-12 combined districts held by two Democrats (Altmire’s PA-04 and Critz’s (and formerly Murtha’s) PA-12), neither was a heavily Democrat district. In fact, John McCain arried both districts, and the new PA-12 gave him 54% of the vote (around 10% more than in PA as a whole), making it a very winnable district for the GOP. Our nominee is Keith Rothfus, who came within around 1% of defeating Altmire in 2010 and who should be favored to beat Critz this November. http://www.keithpa4.com/

Critz could be beaten. (Neither Critz nor Altmire won by much last time out). Cartwright is safe.
