This is also a seat with long-term implications. Even though it's a district that has elected Murtha repeatedly, it's an old-time steel-belt district. It's socially conservative and it's just a bunch of old unionites whose arm will fall off if they pull the R lever.
AmishDude,
Murtha is running around the country now campaigning for 41 other Dem House candidates because he wants to be Majority Leader if the DemocRATS regain control of the House.
Isn't this somewhat arrogant on his part? It's like he is saying: "My seat is secure; I don't even have to campaign." If I was in his PA-12, I'd be greatly offended at that.
What say ye?
But, just but,if she won, at least the takeover of the House would be moot. Mike Barone thinks the House will see only a 5 seat majority for the GOP. Thus, if they lose the 10 he thinks, and she actually pulls this off, that would keep the majority. And it will be needed. Now, the Senate is another question. Hugh Hewitt wrote today, only 4 Senate seats can keep the GOP majority and he says donate to only them. I see a 51-49 GOP keeper but 50-50 with Cheney again as the tiebreaker is a real possibility. If only GOP_Conser. purists would come back to the fold, this would not be this close! abundanthope.blogspot.com/
