Murtha is from the Johnstown area here in PA. Not since Ken Tompkins (he stole the TV rights in the area in a scandle) have they had a worse representative.

I smell Hillary & Reid behind this shift by Murtha. Murtha brings a lot of pork to the Johnstown area. What do you want to bet that Hillary had the senate start pressuring his 'earmarks' in conference?

Murtha's been flipped to make Hillary's postion look 'reasoned'. She can point to Murtha and tell the Press, "see this hawk over here, he's turned against the war. But not me! I have a secret plan handed down to me by channeling the ghost of Richard Nixon."

Murtha didn't flip. He's been saying this for over a year now. He's been shamefully propped up by the Dems because they are beginning to look bad.

Your basically right in that Murtha is a nothing and can't be re-elected. So, it is his turn in the barrel where he will retire in his 3 Million Dollar home in the Laural Highlands.

As far as Hillary goes in this effort, I don't think so. Remember, Hillary and Kerry are still fighting for guys like this. Kerry could as well be behind this too.

The reason the Dems are not gaining a lot of $ right now is they are so divided. I love it. Also, there is no policy from the DNC. What did they say last week?, We will tell you in "06. Oh, boy, what a policy.
