"Obviously, he has angered some people in his district", Mr. Brabender said."Mr. Murtha's having a ton of money and where it came from will be part of the campaign", Mr. Brabender predicted.
Well, shut my mouth, and sweet potato pie, y'all.

I'd say Run. She can count on support from far and wide around the U.S. and from members of the Military after the emanations from gasbag Murtha. Since she doesn't have a "name" I don't know how supportive the Repub party would be but maybe she can get support from Swannie!

Bush also got 49% in his district. Defintely potential here.
To: Rembrandt
I'm hoping she'll have more support than she could possibly have dreamed of, and some of it coming from freepers!

If you Pennsylvanians can get Irey and Swann elected, I'll join a post election party on FR for you all.

John Brabender, her media strategist, said that while Mrs. Irey had not made a final decision on the race, she is circulating nominating petitions and is "very serious'' about the prospect of ousting the longest-serving member of the state's congressional delegation. Soo, Diana has a bra bender? What's a bra bender? (:^*)

Thanks! I'll be looking forward to that!

I think she does have local name recognition. As I recall, she was first elected county commissioner in the mid-1990's...it was an upset...Washington County was majority Democrat back then (it probably still is) but for that term the county commission was 2-1 R. It must be 2-1 D again.

Stop that, you dirty old man! :)

She's beautiful. She will be popular here. To heck with issues.
To: ClaireSolt
You're right. She'll do just fine.

Gore won Washington County by 9% in 2000 and Ho Chi Kerry won it by about 500 votes. It's swing heavily to the Republicans.

So, where in Virginia do you live?
I was born and raised in the Old Dominion, and still get down there when I can.

She can count on support from far and wide around the U.S. and from members of the Military No, she can't.
Murtha's district is home to my parent brigade here in Iraq. National Guard, mostly labor union, all Democrat. They back Murtha to the hilt. Most troops I've spoken to all use the words "Repuglicans" and "hangings" in the same sentence.
I don't even bother talking to many troops here anymore. They are beyond redemption.

Several thousand, and that's just the one's here.

And they all vote in Murtha's district?
They might be screwballs, but they can't all be registered to vote in the 12th Congressional District.
Irey weighs run against Murtha
To: smoothsailing
I took the time to read that entire other thread. It's certainly exciting to be in on the groundbreaking of a campaign.
But I'll bet my body armor Murtha will coast.
