A great campaign issue for the Dems. Vote for us, Murtha becomes majority leader. He'll hold hearings into the beating of a KOS, DU hero.
Murtha has to get reelected first. I suspect his talk of becoming the next Dem leader in the House is a campaign ploy to create the image that he is a mover and shaker within the party. He is facing the toughest reelection campaign he has probably ever had. He is getting free publicity.
