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.

Sheesh!

Only 43% do agree with him.

I think that's the same poll that was around months ago.

Could be Coop, I'd never seen it and thought it might be something new because it was in this article. Either way I don't think it's very scientific, polls are cr*p anyway. :-)

"#13 - Irey is a whole lot easier on the eyes than Murtha...a bigtime whole lot."

Sarah Palin, the conservative GOP candidate for governor of Alaska, is pretty hot too.

[ErnBatavia]

Agreed!

Thank you for the ping!

She must win, no to any traitor.

[Coop]

Yes, we'll find out in less than two months how much conservatives really want Jack Murtha to lose.

Bump

Give me a group of passionate volunteers and less money any day over big bucks and advertising budgets. When the "grassroots" catch on fire, it spreads like wildfire.

I guess I'm still waiting for the grassroots to spark up.

... and waiting...
