| Description | WASHINGTON | - Pennsylvania's 2008 congressional challengers share an unusual trait -- they're not state lawmakers.
In fact, few have any political experience at all. Among the state's 19 congressional districts, less than a quarter of more than 15 declared challengers have been elected to any office.
Traditionally, Pennsylvania's Capitol Hill candidates emerge from the state Legislature or another elected post. That started to change last year and the pace is quickening now. |
