Therefore it especially sucks to be a Democrat incumbent for whom Obama personally campaigns (Specter).
Delusional Democrats are crowing about Critz's victory in Murtha's old seat. But he was not an incumbent, he did not want or seek Obama's help, and he campaigned against just about everything Obama thinks is good and worthy.
Make no mistake: Critz's victory is not a net plus for Republicans. But it is also a repudiation of Obama and his agenda.

Pretty much.
Critz campaigned as pro-gun, pro-life etc. Heck he even campaigned against 0bamcare. He effectively run as a conservative, and even then won by a much smaller margin that Murtha ever did. Murtha’s seat was probably amongst the top 25 safest Democratic Party seats in the country. I 'd be quaking in my boots over the Critz victory, if I were a Pelosi/Reid/0bama Democrat.
