You cannot compare the districts you suggest. Ron Paul's district is distinctly libertarian, and he further has not gone on nationwide TV to argue for surrender and to bash our military.
This Pennsylvania district is rural and fairly conservative. My original point is that it is not an inner city, Democratic/minority district. It is a hawkish, swing district.
Win or lose, we tie Murtha down. Watch for him to shrink from nationwide public view in a hurry.
How do you figure it's a "swing" district when Murtha has occupied the seat for my entire adult life?
Murtha brings back too much DoD bacon and holds too much clout. He's not going anywhere. This is a futile effort.
