LANGHORNE, Pa. -- From the 1930s through the 1950s, Bucks County northeast of Philadelphia acquired a glamorous reputation as a retreat for Manhattan celebrities, including Oscar Hammerstein, who, according to local legend, was inspired by the view from his Doylestown front porch to write “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’,” the opening song of “Oklahoma!” Today the county, which is 93 percent of Pennsylvania’s 8th Congressional District, figures in Republicans’ plans to sing that song on the morning of Nov. 3.
The district has about 209,000 Democrats, 189,000 Republicans and 66,000 independents. The seat is held by a Democrat, Patrick Murphy, 36, the first Iraq War veteran to serve in Congress. He was elected in 2006 when he defeated the one-term Republican incumbent, Mike Fitzpatrick, 47, an attorney, who is Murphy’s opponent again this year.
More than half of the 7 percent of the district that is not in Bucks County is in northeast Philadelphia, where a lot of the city’s police and firefighters live -- they are required to reside in the city -- and many conservative Democrats, too. The remainder of the district is in suburban Montgomery County. Lower Bucks County is primarily blue collar, the upper county is agricultural and the central portion is an upper-income bedroom community for Philadelphia.

This would have been the year for Tom Manion to run. Mike is a little wishy washy on some issues. In his previous incarnation he seemed to want to emulate the Jim Greenwood “moderate” model and go after the No Hope gay vote and the parasite Lower Bucks/NE Philadelphia crowd. In 2006 this cost him. Even though Murphy did not win Bucks County, he won the election because so many Bucks Countians stayed home. I still remember Mike on Hannity’s radio show trying to defend his idiotic ANWR vote.
Mike is pro life, which is certainly a good thing, but let’s see if he has a new spine and will stand up for other normal, everyday traditional American (”conservative”) values.

This came after Murphy collected a hefty pile of cash from Obama's "Hope Fund" PAC.
