"Murtha's 2005 year-end campaign finance report indicates he has $1.59 million on hand. Irey's year-end report shows a balance of $57,000."

That can be overcome if the party thinks he is a serious candidate.

Whoops!

The title should read "Irey Weighs Run Against Murtha".

This is Front Page news here locally today, although I'm not positive it's breaking news.

Where it goes in the sidebar is your call,of course.

Thanks!

Irey's a gal, I'll have a pic up in a minute.

[proudpapa]

Sounds like it could be a good fight!

How did this district vote in the presidential election?

[jazusamo]

Any US Representative who tells the young people of our nation not to join the military doesn't belong in Congress. That is unforgivable.

"Irey's a gal, I'll have a pic up in a minute."

And apparently her name recognition has not reached to my little corner of Georgia. :)

Is that her high school picture?

If anyone from her staff is reading this, just post where to send the check. Beat that Murtha!

[smoothsailing]

HA! No, but I'm sure she'd be flattered that you said that!

[TNCMAXQ]

I think this was a Kerry district. It is probably impossible to beat Murtha, sad to say. But as long as the Dems are looking for strong challengers to run in previously safe Repub. districts, then I think the GOP ought to make every attempt to give Dems a fight.

Brabender does good work. I'd like to see him get his chance to produce advertising and do fundraising for this race. Run, Diana, Run!

[smoothsailing]

Here you go,Dog!

[Pukin Dog]

Thanks. When is the announcement?

[smoothsailing]

Agreed.This is going to happen!

[smoothsailing]

According to the article,within the next ten days.

[Pukin Dog]

Great. If she runs, I will send money. I think LOTS of people will send money. Tell her that she needs a FOCUSED calm positive message, no matter how negative the other side gets. Never react, just act. She can win.

Who wouldn't vote for this beautiful, intelligent woman over that fat, bloviating, orca-Ted Kennedy wannabe?

Pubbie women are a major reason I'm a pubbie. Ugly broads are demonRATS. {I know, that is very sexist, but it's true}. The women are {secretly} proud and most men won't admit it. Looks and brains are not mutually exclusive, and I also admire the other part{s}.
