Pennsylvania: Steve O'donnell

In PA-18, O'Donnell touts chances despite huge financial deficit

By Alex Roarty, PolitickerPA.com Reporter

Could what is universally expected to be a horrible year for the GOP unexpectedly rear its head in the 18th Congressional District?

That's the message pushed by the campaign for Democrat Steve O'Donnell, who is taking on U.S. Rep. Tim Murphy (R-Upper St. Clair) in the western Pennsylvania district. His campaign points to a negative TV ad run by the Republican last week as evidence Murphy thinks he's in trouble.

By Alex Roarty, PolitickerPA.com Reporter

MONACA -- U.S. Rep. Jason Altmire (D-McCandless) told PolitickerPA.com in an interview after Wednesday night's town hall meeting he thinks his voting record, which he said is about 50 percent Democratic, proves his political philosophy matches the mostly centrist 4th Congressional District, which covers an area from the northern Pittsburgh suburbs to Mercer County.

[img_assist|nid=770|title=Congressional candidate Steve O'Donnell|desc=Courtesy Steve O'Donnell campaign|link=none|align=left|width=139|height=172]MONROEVILLE -- The 18th Congressional District splashes across southwest Pennsylvania to create what can best be described as a giant Rorschach test. Its array of nooks and crannies, which spread across four counties from the Ohio border to near Johnstown, covers not just a range of geographic but socioeconomic areas as well.
