Barletta vs. Kanjorski

I think the AmSPec already carried a column about a month ago on the Pennsylvania congressional race between incumbent Paul Kanjorski and challenger Lou Barletta, the famous mayor of Hazleton who cracked down on illegal immigration. But here's my take on it, for the Examiner, after interviewing Barletta last week. If I had my druthers, I would have expanded the column far beyond the immigration issue, because Barletta is far more than a one-trick pony. He's a very impressive politician, in the good sense of the word. But I thought you readers out there would still enjoy this.
