He was in the House not the senate, so there will be a special election.

Let's keep it civil folks.

Wow! I knew he’d been hospitalized lately, but didn’t know it was life-threatening. Prayers for his family as they mourn, and let’s elect a Republican to replace him! I don’t know what the procedure is in Pennsylvania, but I’m sure someone on the thread will.

He was a representative. I think Gov Rendell (D) names his replacement until a special election is held?

John Murtha represented my Mom’s old hometown of Johnstown PA.

I hope Murtha finds peace in death, that he didn’t find in life.

Now maybe someone with the nation’s best interests can take over his Congressional seat. Sorry, I have nothing kind to say about this person.

I’ll be the first to say what everybody really feels - good riddance, his seat might have been easier to capture had he been alive, so let’s just hope his seat still goes Republican.

Now, what are the implications for sitting a new senator in PA...

They'll probably have a special election for this House seat. I don't think they'll want to let it vacant for 11 months.
