| rdfs:comment | - Shawn Flaherty, PA House 30, from Pittsburgh's northern suburbs. Flaherty, a Democrat, just won this seat a few months ago in a special election. This is close to a 50-50 district. The Republican, Randy Vulakovich, out-muscled two GOP primary opponents and said in mid-October 2006 that he had already knocked on more than 15,000 doors. Big regional political name versus extremely hard worker. Could be the closest race in the state.

* Rep. Shawn Flaherty, D, Fox Chapel, who filled former Rep. Jeff Habay's unexpired term, is leaving office, too, but will not get a pension. Mr. Flaherty has served only seven months, not the three years required to be vested.
