I think Gov Rendell (D) names his replacement until a special election is held?

nope...has to be a special election...which they probably won't bother with since the general is in November. Appointments are an option for the Senate only.

Comfort to his family. Should have retired long ago instead of leaving Congress in the horizontal position.

Scott Lee Cohen is available. He’ll just need to establish residency.

Tonk and Murtha will never meet. They are in different places.

Murtha was in the House of Representatives. I think, as he was up for re-election this cycle, that our Guv, Fast Eddie Rendell will get to select an interim replacement.

My sympathies to J-Town. Honest. W/o Murtha bringing home the pork, the sidewalks will roll up. A lot of military/tech work there (that he brought to the Valley).

John Murtha was a tough old school hack. Patronage and deals was the air that he breathed. 0bama and his faggy crew are policy wonks and managerial types. University theorists who never ran a business. I prefer Murtha’s style. Maybe he never ran a business but at least he knew men who did. And drank with them

Murtha’s death is a fitting commentary on 0bama’s sad crew of European Parliament style sissies

Someone above just posted No. The Gov has to schedule a special election.
