Democratic Leaders Ride to the Rescue of Murtha

Rep. John P. Murtha is cashing in on his extensive network of House connections to help fend off a surging Republican challenge for his 12th District seat in Pennsylvania. The 17-term incumbent has raised more than $170,000 since Monday, a large slice of it from his Democratic colleagues.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California kicked in $7,000 from her campaign and political action committees, as did Democratic Caucus Chairman Rahm Emanuel of Illinois and Rep. James P. Moran of Virginia, a fellow member of the House Appropriations Committee.
Murtha's seat was considered safe until he made comments earlier this month referring to his home region as "racist." The widely publicized statement drew attention and support to his well-funded GOP challenger, William Russell, and led the National Republican Congressional Campaign Committee to jump into the race, pledging $84,000 in coordinated spending. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee responded yesterday with $2,400 to help pay for phone banks.
As of Oct. 15, Russell had out-raised Murtha by $700,000, but Murtha still had an edge in cash on hand -- $503,000 to $194,000. Russell has not reported any contributions since then, while Murtha has hauled in a total of $215,000, including contributions this week from Pelosi and other Democratic lawmakers.

Then again, maybe he could render for a bit longer........
Murtha is dispicable. How much did Obama contribute? I’ll be ZERO!
LOL!
Sounds like you’ve got your hands full...
The slanderous insulting git is in trouble. May his campaign go down in flames.
He’s insulted the voters in his district,how’s money gonna help him correct that?
Is it wrong to hope that the democrat leaders helping him out only turn out to be throwing money away?
I saw Murtha cursing the other day about how he refuses to give up his seat to a Republican. This man is despicable!
I like your tagline. 30-06 redemption. ;^)
I am just so proud (yes, proud!) of my fellow Pennsylvanians...we are scaring the s#it out of the Democrats right now. Awesome.
After the way he dragged our military through the mud I wouldn’t give him a glass of water if he was dying of thirst...God forgive me.
The Turd is floating and it needs flushing.
Spend that money, Nancy.
Toss some more money to go down the drain with him.
Idiots saving a fellow idiot.
I’d have to say Murtha is the number one A-hole in Congress and that’s saying ALOT!!!!
This fat un-American son of a bitch needs to go down. He is an embarassment to Western PA and this country. GO COL> RUSSELL
I thought that that title went Barney Franks.
NO MATTER WHAT A DEMOCRAT SAYS OR DOES - TAKING BRIBES, ADULTRY, RUN A HOMO BROTHEL, STEAL, CHEAT, LIE, MAKE RACIST STATEMENT - THE DEMS WILL STAND BEHIND THEM and the media lets it slide.
