In Scranton, Bill Clinton throws Kanjorski a bone
By Dan Hirschhorn, PolitickerPA.com ReporterCampaigning for Barack Obama in Scranton Sunday, former President Bill Clinton made time for a couple words on behalf of U.S. Rep. Paul Kanjorski (D-Nanticoke).
"Folks, Paul Kanjorski's got a tough race," Clinton said, according to a transcript of his remarks. "He's got a tough race because some people in his district believe that illegal immigration is a bigger cause of their economic problems than President Bush's economic policies. I got news for them and I've got news for you - you need to help him get re-elected."
Kanjorski, considered to be one of the most vulnerable Democrats in Congress, is being challenged by Republican Hazleton Mayor Lou Barletta in the 11th Congressional District.
