I agree. I’ve seen a graphic of the district PA-12 and it would make the long-dead Elbridge Gerry green with envy. Unfortunately for him and his ilk, there were no computers back then. Now maybe the desire to turn out and boot Arlen Specter brought more dem voters to the primary or it didn’t. Either way, Mark Critz ran as a conservative dem against Obama.
It may take a while, but if the dems of district 12 think a freshman like Critz is going to be able to hold together Murtha’s Defense contracting empire they are sadly mistaken. With Porky holding the whip hand, the DoD and the legit Defense contractors are going to unass PA-12 so fast their heads will spin.
“...Defense contractors are going to unass PA-12...”
You MUST have been in the military, the only place where ‘ass’ is used as a verb (with the ‘un’ prefix, of course).
