3. Yes I'm pretty sure Saccone is running against Nancy Pelosi

This race was never a "gimme" for the GOP candidate. The 18th District (as it's drawn now) is almost 50/50 for Dems and Republicans, depending on the candidates. The way this race seems to be going, many otherwise indifferent voters have come out strongly for Conor Lamb, while nothing of the sort has happened for Saccone.

I live in Pittsburgh (not in the 18th district) and I've seen the TV ads for Saccone and Lamb. They're like night and day, as others have posted here on DU. Even if I weren't a Democrat, I'd vote for Lamb. He's clearly the better candidate.

I think they are hoping to suppress the vote for Lamb. PA Democrat Mar 2018 #4

The Republicans think they can make up for a lousy candidate by just throwing money around. blue neen Mar 2018 #5
