Folks who are familiar with Western PA might be surprised nonetheless to learn that this district is in play. Other than Erie itself, this is not exactly fertile ground for any Democrat. Take a look at the map (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_House_of_Representatives,_Pennsylvania_District_3)!

Excellent numbers here for Democratic challenger Kathy Dahlkemper, and a serious cause for concern for Republican incumbent Phil English.
Dahlkemper's lead outstrips Obama's in this district - the Democratic presidential nominee edes John McCain by two points in PA-03, 46% to 44%.
Dahlkemper was initially quoted low odds of knocking off English, as a newcomer to politics, but she has run a impressively strong campaign and put herself in position to defeat the incumbent. She leads among women 52% to 36%, providing her her margin of support...but she trails among men by only two points, 46% to 44%.
