Wonder if the reason Murtha isn't running scared is after 32 years he just arrogantly assumes the job is his by right? That it's "his district" no matter what he does?
Who knows? It's a fact that Murtha wouldn't know which way the wind is blowing if he were in a hurricane.
Jack is wrong. I have studied the demographics of the 12th district and it should be up for grabs. Those folks who are not republicans are essentially Reagan Democrat types. Kerry won this District with only 51% of vote. Here is a map that shows the location. Basic honest, hard working folks who are patriots. They figured Jack was patriotic too until his recent ravings.

Uh, uh. Say it ain't so.
That's what Gary Condit thought about his seat out here in California's 18th Congressional district in 2002.
The voters are not as stupid as their representatives think they are. We know the difference between right and wrong. Personally, I feel the voters in Pennsylvania's 12th district are definitely smarter than their current, soon to be fired, congressman.
Give Jack his Pink Slip...Just change the name on the window...
