Murtha / Irey race getting national focus
Boot Murtha / Rightroots ^ | 8/1/06 | Unknown

Posted on 08/01/2006 11:29:37 AM PDT by Coop

The Republican National Committee's eCampaign Director -- Patrick Ruffini -- has sent out an e-message to America. Writes Ruffini:

"A group of prominent conservative bloggers is turning discussion into action with the launch of Rightroots – an effort to support some of the most important House and Senate candidates of this election cycle..."

A visit to the newly online "Rightroots" website shows a listing of GOP candidates deemed "the most important House and Senate candidates for this 2006 election cycle." Included in this select group: Diana Irey -- Congressman John Murtha's PA District 12 opponent!

The brand new website serves as a collecting house as well. Visitors can contribute to any or all of the selected candidates. As of today, candidate Diana Irey has received the most $$ contributions.

This national highlighting of the Pennsylvania race between Irey and Murtha underscores what BootMurtha.com is saying: Rep. John Murtha is an all-American problem. More and more Americans are realizing this and are contributing what they can in time, talent and money to unseat this congressman.

Yes, it's been there for a couple of hours. So stand by for an update soon! The grand total is over $28K.

I think it may have started on 31 Jul, or maybe 1 Aug. What's amazing is Diana's total was at about $450 yesterday morning, IIRC. This site is turning into a serious resource.

Her total hasn't been updated in several hours, yet I know the site's overall total is still climbing. Check back this evening. :-)

Living far from PA, I have no idea of the present polling for Murtha's seat but if the DBM is becoming interested in a local election that must mean that there is hay to be made against the GOP candidate.

With that being said Murtha's seat must be a mortal lock!

I suspect the DBM will be paying more and more attention to elections that have sharp divides along pro-military Iraq and anti-military Iraq lines.

With almost 4 in 10 believing that the administration either did NOTHING to prevent 911....ON PURPOSE...or in fact PLANNED 911, there is little remaining doubt that a political sea change is in the offing.

If Murtha's seat were a lock, the media wouldn't be this interested.

Hopefully, every freeper, who understands the danger of Murtha will be a contributor to Irey and or this fund even if they have "borrow" from their children's or grandchildren's piggy bank.
