Lackawanna, Monroe counties carried Kanjorski to victory

In the end, it was two counties that propelled U.S. Rep. Paul Kanjorski to a 13th term in Congress Tuesday night. The Nanticoke Democrat lost three of the five counties in the hotly-contested 11th Congressional District, some by wide margins. But he racked up huge numbers against Republican Hazleton Mayor Lou Barletta in the other two counties, proving strategists on both sides of the aisle wrong and overcoming poll numbers that had showed him in a precarious position.

Kanjorski topped Barletta by more than 20 points in Lackawanna County, winning by almost 13,000 votes there. And he won in Monroe County by almost 13 points and almost 8,000 votes. It was enough to offset a 17-point loss in the less populous Columbia County, and smaller defeats in Carbon and Luzerne counties, which Barletta took by about 5 points each.

The counties Kanjorski won are two of the most heavily-populated in the district, and by keeping his loss small in vote-rich Luzerne County, he was able to prevail a little less than 10,000 votes, or about 3.5 percentage points, according to projections.
