PA Consultants Scorecard for 2010

Campaigns & Elections Magazine posted its annual "consultant's scorecard" list -- of consultants, their clients, and whether they won their election or not. As in previous years I went through the list and pulled out Pennsylvania elections. I won't guarantee the list is complete; apologies in advance for errors or omissions. Readers are encouraged to review the full national list on C&Es website.

Here's the PA data (links provided more or less on a whim -- if I skipped your firm and you want a link send me the URL):

Abbreviations:
W = Won general election (with no competitive primary, or vendor
wasn’t involved in primary)
L = Lost general election (with no competitive primary, or vendor
wasn’t involved in primary)
W/W = Won a competitive primary and the general election
W/L = Won a competitive primary, but lost the general election
W/W/W = Won a primary, a run-off and the general election
Wp or Lp = Won or lost the primary
RO = Run-off, election hadn’t taken place by press time
TC = Race was too close to call as of press time
I-E = Client was an independent expenditure or issue advocacy effort
that was not, or may not have been, affiliated with any candidate
campaign.
Ws or Ls = Won or lost special election
(in) = Incumbent
(open) = Race was for an open seat
