LIKE MANY Bucks County voters, Pat Keppler considers herself an independent. She hasn't decided whom she'll choose holiday inn website in the race between U.S. Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick and Democratic challenger Kathy Boockvar.
Although holiday inn website she favors Republicans more often, Keppler was irked by Fitzpatrick's vote to remove funding for Planned Parenthood because it provides abortion services. Congress, she said, should be focused on bigger holiday inn website issues.
Attentive, amenable voters like Keppler holiday inn website are exactly whom Boockvar will have to win over if she is to unseat Fitzpatrick in what is shaping up to be the area's most competitive and expensive congressional race.
Wedged between the blue sea of the city and the red ranges of rural Pennsylvania, Bucks County and the other Philadelphia suburbs are home to thousands of persuadable voters. After three wave elections that saw one party sweep through these swing districts, the suburbs are once again the state's most important political ground.
Both parties' congressional-campaign funds have reserved millions of dollars of TV airtime in the Philadelphia market to barrage suburban voters after Labor Day. And outside groups on both sides are expected to make major plays as well.
Fitzpatrick, who sits on a powerful committee overseeing the banking industry, holiday inn website had raised a prodigious $1.9 million as of last month, according to the Federal Election Commission. And although Boockvar trails badly in the cash race, her $673,000 is more than some incumbents raise in an entire cycle.
Fitzpatrick, 49, who as a Catholic has been a staunch opponent of abortion, has been "a problem on almost every vote and bill that comes forth relating to women," she said. "This is a district of mothers like me that want to be able to run our own businesses effectively, but we also don't want the government in our doctor's holiday inn website office."
