Rating change: GOP projected to win Murtha's seat
With the Pennsylvania preview comes one more projected GOP takeover. On May 18th, a special election will be held to fill the seat vacated by John Murtha's unexpected passing. The pundits call it a toss-up, but polls give Republican Tim Burns an slight edge over Democrat Mark Critz. As a result, the race moves to a Weak GOP Gain. I'm looking forward to seeing if the momentum displayed in Massachusetts in January will still be going strong in May in southwestern Pennsylvania. This change brings the projected House tally to 233 Democrats and 202 Republicans, a net gain of 24 seats for the GOP.

In Mass all the cards came tumbling down on the dems about 10 days before election. Sounds like this is shaping up the same way!

Well I just donated ...
I didn’t forget the vile things Murtha said about our troops and our citizenry.

They still give Dems the edge 233-202? It's early yet. Only a couple of states have even had primaries. 41 is the magic number-more than half way there already.

Whoever promises the most pork will win. Pork is all that district cares about. The whole district is a waste of space.

Burns (the GOP candidate) was picked by the RINO party leaders but he will win based on the anger over Obamacare etc.
There is a parallel primary election going on the same day May 18th.
Conservative candidate William Russell should win that contest to face Critz in the fall.
