Larry Farnese, who narrowly lost to Pennsylvania state Rep. Babette Josephs two years ago, has dropped the idea of a rematch in favor of a run against Philadelphia Sen. Vincent Fumo in the April 22 Democratic primary.
Fumo was indicted on 139 counts of conspiracy, fraud, obstruction of justice, etc., a year ago. (Irrelevant but noted: Earlier today, he underwent back surgery.)

GOVERNING Politics is the place for news and analysis on campaigns and elections. If there's a ballot measure in California, a legislative election in Alabama, a mayoral election in Anchorage or a governor's race in Rhode Island, GOVERNING Politics probably is writing about it. We love everything about state and local politics, from polls and campaign ads to policy debates and demographic trends.
