My thought is that Murtha won’t lose, because my own sister lived in Tom Foley’s district and she continually voted for the SOB because ... “He does wonderful things for our district.”
The only way that Murtha will lose is if he dies before the election. Democrats do not care about sleeze or integrity. They will just vote for the D, even if the candidate is caught with $90,000 in the freezer. Murtha was outed in 2006 with the release of his bribery tape. He was opposed by a very good female candidate. He still won by 20 points. His opponent looks like a fine man but he has a huge uphill battle.
