O’Brien handicapping Kanjorski’s chances at ‘zero’
Lackawanna County Commissioner Corey O’Brien is keeping up the electability argument.
O’Brien, who’s mounting an underdog primary challenge to Congressman Paul Kanjorski (D-11), says the longtime incumbent just can’t win a general election two years after he barely won in a Democratic sweep year.
“There is zero chance Paul Kanjorski defeats Lou Barletta. Zero,” O’Brien told Politico. “I may be wrong about that, but I’m not good at negative numbers. Republicans are giddy about this race.
“Paul Kanjorski doesn’t have Barack Obama [on the ballot] and without Barack Obama and the way the country is swinging with Massachusetts, at the end of the day, this is an easy pickup for the Republican party,” he added.

O’Brien doesn’t have a shot in the world at Kanjorski’s seat. He pretends like he is Bill Clinton pointing his finger everytime he speaks. FAKE! His EGO is out of control. He’s a one term commisioner and back to Television it will be for this clown.

I’d disagree with you. The only reason Kanjo won the general in 2008 is because he won Lackawanna County by a tremendous margin. O’Brien should do better there. Plus if you look at their individual donations (excluding PAC money) they’re fairly close.
This can be an upset.
