Murtha may be losing ground
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review (via Hot Air) reports that the awful John Murtha's lead has slipped down:
As for Obama, his lead is slipping too, and let's hope that McCain can gain on him, and win (Hat tip: Hot Air Headlines).
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.Quite right, Murtha should have known better. Here's a page where you can donate to Russell's campaign.
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.
“I didn’t like that at all. He shouldn’t have said it,” Shemanski said.
As for Obama, his lead is slipping too, and let's hope that McCain can gain on him, and win (Hat tip: Hot Air Headlines).
