Casey makes stop for Critz

Mark Critz, John Murtha's former district director now running for his late boss' seat, is bringing in Sen. Bob Casey Jr., D-Pa., to campaign for him today in Johnstown. According to a release from the Critz campaign, Casey -- who also is doing a news conference today with Pittsburgh Police brass about surveillance cameras -- will tour the Gautier Steel mill with Critz and then take questions from the press this afternoon.

It's another sign the state's and nation's Democratic leaders are fighting to keep this seat. Vice President Joe Biden also is due to campaign for Critz.
