I think this woman is running a briliant campaign. I can't imagine anyone in PA voting for this lying, cheating, bought and paid for fat whore, John Murtha. I sure hope the GOP moves in some big guns and resources, this is definatey a seat that can be won.
Never been to PA, I take it?
He's got a D next to his name, and his name is familiar. He'll get tons of votes.
There is no economy in his district because the state is so corrupt and anti-business that his pork barrel projects are about the only thing going. Johnstown voters are afraid of what happens if Murtha is not re-elected. The prospect of Murtha in a leadership position in a Democrat congress promises even more largess.
Until PA has a complete revolution in econimic thinking, Murtha is what we will get.

Little guns and resources would be helpful. Allow me to introduce you to the PA GOP Chairman, Robert Gleason, Jr.
Gleason is a diversified corporation comprised of three complementary companies: Gleason Insurance, Gleason Financial and Gleason Technology. From creating unique insurance programs to revolutionizing facility inspection processes, Gleason consistently provides innovative and cost efficient solutions to a diverse national client list.
Robert A. Gleason, Jr. Chairman and CEO
In 2000, Rob served as Chairman of The Council of Insurance Agents and Brokers, an organization that represents the 300 largest insurance brokers in the United States. The Council places 80% - more than $90 billion - of the commercial property/casualty insurance premiums in the United States. They also provide industry leadership, visible and effective representation before government, executive training and agency management programs.
This gives new meaning to Mr. Gleason's past comments, IMO. He is decidedly working against the Republican challenger. WHY??? Is he afraid the BACON won't land in HIS frying pan unless Murtha is there to throw it in?
"We're all kind of perplexed," said Robert Gleason Jr., an insurance executive and chairman of the local Republican committee, who said he had put aside party loyalties and voted for Murtha in the past.
"I think Jack is a good guy," said Robert Gleason, chairman of the Cambria County Republican Committee. "He has helped our community. He has been the king of appropriations. He has gotten a lot of great things here. This town would be a ghost town without him."
And no doubt you and your family would be a bit poorer, hey Mr. Gleason. There needs to be an investigation as to how much back scratching is going on between the "Gleason Group" and the "king of appropriations."
“The people in this congressional district, they will vote for a Republican,” Gleason said. “Having said that, it’s a steep mountain to climb running against John Murtha because he’s brought home the bacon.”

It is a steep mountain because you, and those like you, have piled on to make that mountain steep as opposed to supporting the Republican challenger!!!
Robert Gleason said he often faces questions about whether his political ties help his firm win government or other insurance business.
He declined to say whether he thinks those ties help, but he said: "Can't they pick who they want to? I know everybody and I contribute to everybody . . . [but] I consider myself a terrific insurance guy, not a politician. Hey, I deliver."

Mr. Gleason does not have to say whether he thinks those ties help. It is not rocket science...all the facts are laid out before our eyes.
