#2 I gather Murtha is so fearful of running against a Republican opponent, that he got two democrats to change party affiliation to Republican, then told Democrats to vote for them in the open primary, figuring the Democrats would outnumber the Republicans.

Once they won the Republican primary, they just dropped out of the race, leaving Murtha to run unopposed.

His Lt. Col. Republican opponent had other ideas, however. And while he's not running on the Republican ticket, he is running as a Republican.

#5 This guy might actually have a chance, given that more and more about Murtha being a dishonest, traitorous, decrepit doddering old scumbag comes out.

#6 OS, the problem is that even though he may in fact be a traitorous, doddering old scumbag, he brings home the bacon to his district in the form of contracts for contributors. As a result, even if everyone outside of the 12th district hates him, it is only the people in that district who get to vote for or against him. And he can point to all the of our money he brought into the district and ask the people if they want a newby in place instead of him.
