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.

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.

brings back too much DoD bacon and holds too much clout.

There is an investigation into some shady dealings with the bacon and the clout, IIRC.
