A Note for My Republican Friends

If any of my Republican readers are finding our suburban congressional races unexciting, please allow me to point out a Pennsylvania connection in a Florida congressional race. Rep. Tim Mahoney in Florida's 16th congressional district has hit some rough sledding recently. His Republican opponent, Tom Rooney, is the grandson of Art Rooney, who founded the Pittsburgh Steelers. Tom went to college at Washington and Jefferson University outside of Pittsburgh. So if you want to contribute to a candidate and aren't all that enthusiastic about the local prospects, you might look into Rooney.
