A Dozen Reasons why Commissioner Irey Can Defeat Rep. John Murtha

1. John Kerry only managed to get 51% of the 12th district's vote in 2004, and Jack Murtha cannot realistically be expected to match that very high Presidential voter turnout.
2. Diana Irey has 10 years of experience as Washington County's Commissioner, including seven consecutive balanced budgets without a tax increase.
3. Veterans are incredibly upset with her dishonorable opponent, Mr. Murtha, and they are organizing to call attention to his despicable behavior. Two examples:

    >>>> www.bootmurtha.com
4. Commissioner Irey understands that Okinawa is not located in or near the Persian Gulf.
5. Pennsylvania has already exhibited an anti-incumbent trend this year.
6. While Jack Murtha does not, Ms. Irey, Pennsylvanians and Americans in general still strongly believe in the presumption of innocence - especially when it comes to freedom's defenders during wartime
7. When Jack Murtha first joined Congress, American had not yet celebrated its bicentennial. Diana Irey is relatively young and attractive, while Jack Murtha is... not.
8. Diana Irey is articulate, while Jack Murtha is a tightly wound, stuttering idiot.
9. Mr. Murtha's brother - Kit - is a Washington lobbyist who in 2004 landed about $20 million for his defense contractor clients. Coincidentally (??), Jack Murtha has been the top recipient of defense industry dollars for the past three years. Source
10. Rep. Jack Murtha is an unindicted co-conspirator from the Abscam scandal; Commissioner Irey is not.
11. Diana Irey will be a member of the ruling majority party; Jack Murtha is twelve years removed from that position.

Thanks! A bit morbid perhaps, in Star's case, but thanks nonetheless. :)

Hey -- I figure any bump is a good bump. Or is that the only good bump is a dead bump. I dunno! :D

[Coop]

If Murtha wins, it will only be because he's an entrenched politician.

[RedRover]

Bump for detrenching Murtha.

[Coop]

So let's just make sure he doesn't.

Let me add

13. The 12th CD has lost much of its unionized industrial base over Murtha's tenure, and the old retired Democrats are rapidly achieving room temperature so that death is eating into the Democrats slender 04 margin there. Living democrats definitely vote more often than the dead ones.

Welcome to the Irey ping list and thanks for your support.

There have been no polls to date that I know of. The link below is to an article posted today that refers to Murtha about 43% in district don't agree with him on his anti-war comments. Scroll down towards bottom.
