No - the North Hills of Pittsburgh are represented by a true conservative, Congresswoman Melissa Hart. She is a rising star in national politics, just as she was in PA politics for the past 12 years.

Doyle is pretty dumb too, but at least he is pro-life and pro-gun. Kisses all the union ass that he can and pretty leftist on economic issues, but all in all - he is 10,000 percent better than Bill Coyne. And the City of Pittsburgh could do a lot worse than having Doyle reprsent them too. As far as an urban Dem goes, we could do a lot worse than Doyle too.

Ah, then you are most fortunate. My district hasn't had a Conservative since 1962 (and a Dem at that), and it hasn't gone Republican since U.S. Grant's 2nd term in 1872.

Yeah, although it will be interesting to see if his vote starts sliding in a more Coynesian direction. Many in his redrawn district are looking to challenge him from the left in a future primary, and he'll probably want to keep an eye out on that flank.
