USA Hang OUT

The same speculation has intensified with the recognition that Murtha has the last three months raised only $ 100,000; end gave his campaign $ 388,000. But these figures can be misleading since Murtha hardly have met some challenges since he took over the seat of 1974. Only once he had a suitable opponent in Rep. Frank Mascara, but even then, redistricting, which had forced the primary still comes Murtha with a significantly easy victory.

If he chooses to run for re-election, Democrats can win the very competitive field. In 2008, John McCain won with less than 1,000 votes, while John Kerry won the 12 district with a vote of only 51 percent to 49 percent four years earlier. While the district belatedly moving to the right, popular Democrats, as well as Al Gore (55% of the vote in 2000) has played well in the neighborhood.
If Murtha is not running, expect all eyes to be worth getting in November.
