Murtha's hold on House seat slips
By Mike Wereschagin and David M. Brown
TRIBUNE-REVIEW
Thursday, October 23, 2008

Two veteran warriors battling to represent the 12th Congressional District appear locked in the closest race in the district in years.

Democratic Rep. John Murtha leads retired Army Lt. Col. William Russell by a little more than 4 percentage points, within the Susquehanna Poll's 4.9-point margin of error. The poll of 400 likely voters was conducted for the Tribune-Review on Tuesday, amid uproar over Murtha's statement that some of his constituents are racist.

Stanley Shemanski, 67, a retired meat cutter who lives in Apollo, said he's undecided about the congressional race. He doesn't know much about Russell, but he's upset with Murtha's comment that racism in the district could hurt Democrat Barack Obama's chances.....

calling your constituents "racists", and then correcting yourself and saying that they are merely "rednecks", will tend to blow your numbers apart.

Well this shouldn't be that surprising.  On some radio show I was listening to yesterday they had retired Army Lt. Col. William Russell on as a guest.

Here's hoping the old idiot heads for the nearest rest home for rapidly decaying politician's !
Or Better yet send his ass to San Francisco's Gay Havens Rest Emporium so that Pelosi and the local Butt Commandos can visit every day !

Michelle Malakin had a poll on her blog that had Murtha losing by 13:

I do think Murtha is toast, but he's done plenty damage already.
