Talk about trying to shove an overdose of murtha "sugar" down a newspaper readers throat.
JMO, with this "article" it seems that murtha is feeling the heat and calling in some local media chips(w. PA, Pittsburgh media market).
BTW, the owner of the newspaper publisher that printed this murtha sugar overdose, Kevin McClatchey, also owns the Pittsburgh Pirates, the perrenial bottom dwellers of MLB.

The only "popularity" that matters now is within Murtha's Congressional district. Who cares if they love him in Berkeley -- those folks can't keep him in Congress.

McCrappy papers could have manufactured a poll to back up their claims.
Furthermore, he is not popular among Democrats. He is popular among Pro-Terrorist anti-Americans.

Perhaps he should follow Murtha's plan and pull the Pirates out of Pittsburgh seeing as how they can't possibly win there.
To: Dane
Gag, blurp, gasp!
Why oh, why didn't you put a BARF ALERT on this excrescence?

Will he run as a dem? Or is he ready to form his own "drooling senility party"?

MR. RUSSERT: What’s your response?
REP. MURTHA... We can go to Okinawa.
MR. RUSSERT: But it’d be tough to have a timely response from Okinawa.
REP. MURTHA: Well, it—you know, they—when I say Okinawa, I, I’m saying troops in Okinawa.

Isn't this "news" paper chain on the verge of bankruptcy? Or am I thinking of another chain?

Last time I checked Murtha had a huge fundraising lead over Irey. I believe he had about 4 million give or take and she had a little more than $300,000. Figures were from last month.

Where are the polls? I may be missing them, but it seems as if every race has polling going on, but in this one, nothing.
Is he doing so well it doesn't pay to have one, or is it that he is falling or much lower than expected and the news is being held back to allow more of this type of media life support to have some effect?

This year, yeah. But that title usually belongs to the Royals or Devil Rays.
