He's thinking bigger than PA I think.

LOL. Too bad for him he's the only one thinking in those terms.

Yes. I've been following this race for months now. I know what I'm talking about. You, however, strike me as someone who is just looking for a reason not to get involved, rationalizing why the underdog can't win. Perhaps I'm wrong, but...

Jeez. I asked a simple question assuming you were local and could give me an answer. Your non answer and your unjustified accusations are ridiculous. Get a grip and try not to piss off folks who are sympathetic to your position.

One can only hope you are not actively campaigning for Irey with direct access to her voters. If you are it's hopeless. Good luck with your crappy attitude.

Waaaaaahhhhh!!!!!!

I have a feeling the Irey people would MUCH prefer what I've done for them to what you have not nor will ever do for them.

Waaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!

Yes -- and no...

The largest city is Johnstown (28,134 in 2000 census)...but that's only a small portion of a district that's almost 600,000 in population.

I posted a map of the 12th district some time ago...I pointed out that apart from metro Johnstown, there's a string of communities basically along US 119 from Indiana PA to Uniontown PA....

Then there is another string of communities along the Monongahela River, from Forward Twp. to the WV line.

There's one more string of communities northeast of Pittsburgh...I guess you'd call that the Allegheny Valley...

Finally you may want to count I-79 as well....Washington PA and Waynesburg....
The TV markets are Pittsburgh and Johnstown/Altoona.

The old local villain but national hero trick by the same washed up MSM. This is one of the oldest political tricks in the books, when the MSM's favorite politician is down in their own district they try to put the impression on the districts citizens that they're wrong because "look at what the rest of the nation sees".

Go back and read post 37. Your reply to an "either/or" question was "yes"(a non-answer.)

Good luck to you and Irey. A win would be huge.

What are you, about 9 years old? Mentally I mean. Give it a rest.

LOL! Childish as expected.

But seriously, while I'm here I do have a serious question for you. What do the latest polls say about the Murtha/Irey race. Is it close?

Scrabblehack answered my question and did a fine job.

And said the same thing I did, Einstein. Quit your incessant whining and do some reading, instead of pestering people about this race you have no real interest in.

Here's my question:

(Hope you're right. Is that district amenable to a door to door campaign or is it part of a major media center requiring lots of money to get your message out?)

Here's your "answer":

(Yes)

And here's scrablhack's answer:


(Yes -- and no...

The largest city is Johnstown (28,134 in 2000 census)...but that's only a small portion of a district that's almost 600,000 in population.

I posted a map of the 12th district some time ago...I pointed out that apart from metro Johnstown, there's a string of communities basically along US 119 from Indiana PA to Uniontown PA....

Then there is another string of communities along the Monongahela River, from Forward Twp. to the WV line.

There's one more string of communities northeast of Pittsburgh...I guess you'd call that the Allegheny Valley...

Finally you may want to count I-79 as well....Washington PA and Waynesburg....
The TV markets are Pittsburgh and Johnstown/Altoona.)


Maybe it's just me but I see a vast qualitative difference between those 2 answers. If you think your reply is as good as scrabblehack's you need some lessons in comprehension.

I also note you didn't bother to answer my last question about poll results. So, what are the poll numbers?
