Why is that part of PA so heavily Dem that the Republicans cannot even find a decent opponent? It looks like Kanjorksi's district has some red counties in it. The Scranton area, which also has a labor union and Catholic history, has managed to send some Republicans to Congress. (Sherwood, for example.)

Actually, the last time that Kanjorski was re-elected found him in a very heated race; he almost lost to Lou Barletta, the mayor of Hazleton. I suspect it's only a matter of time before Knajorski is ousted.

Kanjorski's district (PA-11) was made much safer for him during the last redistricting. Republicans benefitted elsewhere, such as Don Sherwood in the neighboring 10th District.

As odious as Kanjorski is, we are stuck with him in Congress until he either resigns or is indicted.
