If the White House does this, Obama can not only kiss the mid-terms goodbye, he’ll definitely have a primary challenge:

As I’m sure all of you know by now, Hazleton Mayor Lou Barletta has announced that he will make a third run at Congress. Why this man keeps beating his head against a wall is beyond me. He has lost in two consecutive elections, against the [...]
Pennsylvania came in 11th among 40 states in the annual ranking of state charter school laws by the Center for Education Reform. While the Commonwealth has been better in addressing deficiencies in their charter laws, there are still areas that need attention.
