I have got to be wondering if Irey is closer than what the media believes to beating Murtha. We can only hope.
The $230,000 she raised last quarter hasn't hurt her chances. :-) But she still faces an uphill battle. Murtha's got a ton of money. However, Diana Irey does have a few advantages. Some very ticked off veterans and military supporters rallying to her side, and Murtha's inability to shut his idiotic mouth.
From what I've seen of Jack Murtha, he's a lousy public speaker. A debate or two would likely favor Commissioner Irey.
I hope people upset with Murtha selling out our troops will either step up or continue to donate to Ms. Irey. She doesn't need to catch the despicable EX-Marine in fundraising. She just needs money for advertising and organizing a get-out-the-vote effort.
