Good article by Will on a key race this November. Pennsylvania is fertile ground for the GOP to pick up a lot of seats, and here, we can get rid of one of the most liberal members of Congress to boot.

Also, as Will points out later in the column, the 8th District is one where Hillary Clinton won heavily in the 2008 primary. The Clinton-Obama battle could have some consequences in this race - despite the fact that Bill campaigned for Murphy in 2006, Murphy was one of the first Congressmen to endorse Obama in 2008.

Murphy had a terrible, meltdown town hall earlier this year that made the You Tube rounds. Since then he has been quiet. Just saw his first ad today and it was not good, and he says nothing of his votes. You would think he’s an R. That said, the last numbers had this race tight. I think Fitzpatrick can make ground cramming Murphy’s record down his throat. Rendell’s name is mud here, 26% approval, and Obummer is not well liked. He has no one to back him up anymore. Plus Toomey and Corbett are on fire and energizing the base.

This is my district. I will make certain that my husband and daughter get to the polls. Hubby goes happily enough, daughter needs a threat or two. She’ll get them.

I will be standing in line when the polls open here in Doylestown. Fitzpatrick will be getting his job back.

Pennsylvanians will not forget that Murphy tried to push through a bill to force PA to accept homosexual marriage. It is now our turn to twist the screws on this filthy decadent fudge packing pig. Oh Yeah, your gonna take it deep and hard, Murphy. New Hope can have him, pftt!

This would have been the year for Tom Manion to run. Mike is a little wishy washy on some issues. In his previous incarnation he seemed to want to emulate the Jim Greenwood “moderate” model and go after the No Hope gay vote and the parasite Lower Bucks/NE Philadelphia crowd. In 2006 this cost him. Even though Murphy did not win Bucks County, he won the election because so many Bucks Countians stayed home. I still remember Mike on Hannity’s radio show trying to defend his idiotic ANWR vote.

Mike is pro life, which is certainly a good thing, but let’s see if he has a new spine and will stand up for other normal, everyday traditional American (”conservative”) values.

Murphy became the first Pennsylvanian holding federal office to endorse Barack Obama’s candidacy.

This came after Murphy collected a hefty pile of cash from Obama's "Hope Fund" PAC.
