I'm unsure what the vote is on, but Murtha called for a voice vote, and the "ayes" clearly had the majority.  But he went on to say that in the speaker's opinion, the nays have it.   Then Murtha argued backed and forth with another member.

Not a chance, unfortunately--most of the few remaining residents of his district are FDR hard-core Democrats (read: old) and people who only see all the money he funnels to the district.  Rust Belt ain't the half of it.

Hell he called them a bunch of ignorant rednecks the last time around and they STILL voted him into another tour of D.C.

Gerrymandering got and keeps this jackass in Congress.  These dickweeds obscenely redraw district lines so that they will contain a majority that will vote for them.  Here's Murtha's district.  It makes a fractal picture look simple:
