Republicans: Activist Dave Battaglia, Businessman Tim Burns and Army Vet & ’08 nominee William T. “Bill” Russell

Can’t think of anything good to say about Murtha.

The only one who can stop Bill Russell is Wilt Chamberlain.

Are you sure he’s an activist and not a community organizer?

Russell ran against him last election IIRC. Came closer than others have.

Really? I found him rather easy to get past with a well hit line drive.

Well then I would say that Bill is in pretty good shape.

Wasn’t Russell ahead until the “late-how many do we need” vote came in? McCain beat Obama in the district.

What happened to Diana Irey? I thought she was a good candidate.

The polling late in the campaign showed Bill Russell near even with Murtha and Murtha panicked. He called in a lot of chits and Rats came out of the woodwork to donate big money. Don’t know if he would have beat Murtha without the help at the last minute for him but Murtha was scared.

I’m just north of “Former” Murtha’s district. Are any of the people running for this seat a farmer, blacksmith or cooper? NO!!! They are all ATTORNEYS. Enough said. Prove me wrong! Where’s Edgar Snyder? Can’t he sue someone for wrongful death? He should sue himself, the kike that he is.

In the Nov 08 election Bill Russell ran against Murtha.
There were many posts about him and how we should support
I did. Now is the chance to add one more of our kind to the House. Support Bil.

Seems as though Bill Russell has paid his dues. He might be the guy we need to get behind for the Special Election in May to fill the seat.

I only know what I printed. But, I doubt he’s a Community Organizer; if he was, he’d be running for President.

Diana Irey was a good candidate in ‘06 but she did not run in ‘08 and has not filed, as of yet, for ‘10.
