Democratic candidate Peter Flaherty, Pittsburgh's whiz-kid mayor during the early '70s counts on strong support from his hometown and the surrounding industrial valleys, while the Republican contender, former Philadelphia District Attorney Arlen Spector seems to maintain the allegiance of the densely-populated southeast...
