DeMarco, Orie Step Up Mailing It In For Senate

Despite Democrat Dan DeMarco's less-than-energetic campaign, the contest for the Senate seat currently occupied by Jane Orie has become one of the few interesting local races. Democrats had not planned to chase Sen. Orie, but a politically charged indictment of the incumbent Republican may have generated a competitive contest between two flawed candidates.

Neither seems to be running against the other; DeMarco appears to be walking rather than running, and Sen. Orie is running against the Zappalas.

Some of Sen. Orie's mailers (and some from the DeMarco campaign) are available at North Pittsburgh Politics.
