“Only retarded Republican mappers give safer seats to powerful rats (see 2002 John Murtha) who they could hurt.”
While PA Republicans’ love for Murtha’s pork ended up hurting us, it was because it led to them not making Murtha’s redrawn seat Democratic enough. In order to draw a more Republican PA-18 so that we could pick up the seat, they had to pack Democrats into the PA-12, but Murtha didn’t want to get too many Democrats from Washington County because he was afraid he’s lose against Democrat Congressman Frank Mascara in the primary, which led to the PA-18, PA-04 and PA-03 being less Republican than we could have drawn them, which has already cost us two of those districts (the PA-04 in 2006 and the PA-03 in 2008).

Thanks for clarifying. Their ACU ratings were about the same at the time (around 30) but Murtha’s in sewers as of late and is personally odious.
They are fools, imagine rat mappers hurting themselves to protect a Republican porker.
