The question I have is what was the turnout compared to an average mid-term. I do understand that the Democrat Senatorial primary did bring out more Democrats to the PA-12 race.
True, Critz did worse than Murtha, but of course Murtha was a long time incumbent with name recognition and Critz was not.
The PA-12 district is also unique in continuing to support Murtha after his “cold blood” comments and after his previous bribery problems.
Maybe your district needs some Aricept to help with their short term memory loss.

Wasn’t Critz an aide to Murtha? Wasn’t he District Director or something like that. I think he benefitted from Murtha’s name recognition ( Who’s name i’m sure he dropped with frequency). He did lose ground anyway, and I’m sure he will drop more.
And they did so after he called them racist rednecks. Go figure.
