Just got off the phone with my brother-in-law. He was with Irey and about 25 other people up in Apollo,PA. Lots of rain! They split into groups and just knocked on doors to get the word out. He said the response was pretty much 50/50 toward the two candidates.

50/50? At this juncture I'd say that's very encouraging. Ms. Irey is just starting to get her name out. And even that approx. half supporting Murtha at least now knows who she is and that she means business!

I'm also encouraged by the approx. two dozen volunteers helping her out. During the summer heat when few are paying attention to politics and everyone would rather be sipping a beverage by the poolside.

Please thank your brother-in-law for me! I'm going to get up there soon to help the campaign out. I know some others have expressed interest in doing the same.

I'm sure you'll let us know when a 12th district caravan gets organized. By the way, do you know if anyone from the Vets for Irey camp has done any media interviews? It'd be great for a John O'Neill type of spokesman to do some radio and TV.

Apollo -- southern Armstrong county -- the county as a whole has tended slightly Republican but also has reliably supported Murtha. What are Apollo's trends in particular?

But yes, most people will be civil toward you if you are civil toward them....so positive feedback door-to-door can be misleading.....extreme negative feedback can be helpful as well.
