Murtha is really trying his best to dig a hole for himself in Pennsylvania. The only recent polling info I’ve been able to find is mentioned on NRO, although it is just a source near the Russell campaign. It says that Russell was down 14 points prior to the racist and redneck comments. According to NRO, even with the 14 point lead, Murtha still was not at 50% support. Even worse for Murtha, 40% said they were ready for a change and only 24% had any awareness of the Russell campaign.
527 groups are sensing potential weakness and have opened up with campaign ads to assist Russell. Murtha has had a string of questionable comments such as accusing Marines of killing Iraqi civilians in cold blood. Russell, a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel with 28 years of service, is sure to have passion against such comments.
Are the people of Pennsylvania finally tired of the reckless statements Murtha has been making?
