I think it is rather fitting that much maligned southwestern Pennsylvania, the buckle of the rust belt, home of the knuckle dragging, racist, bitter, redneck religious, gun nut, clingers, might just be the place to drag John McCain across the victory line. Ironic, huh?

And the beauty of that is that it just might also remove the treasonous Jack Murtha from his seat. Yes, Russell's still an underdog. But his name recognition is shooting up and interest in him is peaking specifically because of Murtha's arrogance. A GOP poll showed Murtha with a decent 14-point lead over Russell, before the "racist" and "redneck" remarks. The key point, though, was the Mr. 17-term Incumbent couldn't break 50% before he further insulted his constituents.

And Melissa Hart is in much better shape now to win her seat back. (No, haven't seen any recent polls)

I haven’t seen a poll with Hart since before she started her push, but she was only down 5 then and that was with Altmire all over the place and her nowhere. Now that she’s out there, I have to believe she’s at least even if not ahead.

I figured Altmire would be a 1 termer when he got elected, hopefully that will be vindicated. He’s a puppet for Pelosi, nothing more.
