Republican Senate candidate Dave McCormick says he plans to attend orientation events for new senators this week in Washington. Many news organizations have yet to declare a winner in last week’s contest between McCormick and incumbent Democrat Bob Casey. Out of more than six-point-seven million votes cast and counted, the Republican challenger leads by about 36-thousand votes with an estimated 100-thousand votes still to be counted. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has not invited McCormick to the orientation events. AP projected McCormick as the winner on Nov. 7th.
