He says he never thought anyone would vote for somebody who didn’t live in the district. Maybe they’re voting against you, Murtha.

Yes, there have been three or four recent polls, the last one three days ago.

Amoros said Democrats believe Murtha’s constituents are “more worried about their pocketbooks” than the congressman’s recent controversies. “We feel quite confident that, at the end of the day on Tuesday, Jack Murtha will be re-elected,” he said.

Looks like a threat to me.

Alot of this is anti-Murtha. One interesting factor in this race is the recognition factor. Virtually 100% of voters in this district are familiar with the name Murtha. Bill Russell, on the other hand, has had to work very hard to get his name known by 50% of voters. It proves your point about an anti-Murtha sentiment, considering the race is basically a dead heat.

“I got blindsided,” Murtha acknowledged Friday after an event at Pitt-Johnstown.

Blindsided my rear end. If Fat Jack was blindsided is was only because of his arrogance and his big mouth.

He's been saying and doing anything that comes to his atrophied brain for years and it's finally caught up to him, hopefully the majority of the people in the district realize it.

Grotesque arrogance and contempt for your own nation and its people are not the textbook methods for winning an election. Amazing what happens when the mask slips from a leftist.

Notice the photos they picked:
Editor: "Make sure you use a photo that shows our man looking important - making a speech or something!"

Editor: "What's the most unappealing photo you can find of that, that, REPUBLICAN?"

My most earnest desire: Obama, Murtha, Franken all making concession speeches.

A democrat’s mouth is like a steam engine without a governor...just leave it alone and it will eventually sling itself apart...

Murtha may take lots and lots of votes away from Obama and people will vote McCain-Palin -- giving Pennsylvania to the McCain camp.

Panic by Murtha. Panic by Obama. This is good news...

What would be really funny is if it's close in Pennsylvania and it turns out Murtha's comments motivated just enough anti-Murtha votes that carried over to more anti-Obama voters showing up to give the state to McCain.

Murtha's mouth would sink Obama, oh how delicious that would be.
