Phil Avillo, recent winner of the Democratic primary for Pennsylvania's 19th Congressional district, is the perfect candidate to take on incumbent Republican Todd Platts. He is a decorated Vietnam War veteran, former school board President, and Professor of History at York College in York, Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, his opponent, Todd Platts, the incumbent Republican has the advantage of a fairly conservative district. Nevertheless, his closeness and plethora of photo-ops with Dubya seem to have hurt him somewhat, and there might just be enough political space open to take him down. To start with, Avillo needs money and lots of it. Since this race isn't top priority for either party, we can make it one with the help of the netroots.

I normally hate when people do this, but it would be spectacular to recommend this diary so more people might contribute. Thanks!
