When she ran for governor the late Bob Novak said she was so far to the left it was more like she was running for president of NOW. Let us hope she loses this one big too.

She is a flake but has huge name recognition in that district and statewide for that matter.

She'll be tough to beat IMHO. Hope Col. Russell can pull it off.

She’s way to far to the left for PA12. I hope she is the D nominee.

That my be, but she’s also part of the old establishment. Could work to our advantage.

This is more of a threat:

Many encourage Murtha’s wife to run

Could be, but I don’t see her doing it. She’s pushing 80.

She’d have the hassle of campaigning in 9 counties plus the fear of humiliation a defeat would bring.

She’s better off staying out of it, maybe endorsing the D who gets the nod.
