GOP challenger offers credible alternative to Murtha

John Murtha, the worst member of Congress, King of Congressional Pork and the leader of the Iraq Surrender Movement in Congress, may have a tough time holding on to his Western Pennsylvania Congressional seat.

Republican challenger Bill Russel has reported raising $637,000 in the quarter ending June 30, far exceeding Murtha's reported total of $113,000 over the same time period, according to Federal Election Commission filings.

Have voters in Pennsylvania's 12th Congressional District had it with Murtha, a national embarrassment?

Murtha is the poster-child for what's wrong with Congress. Knocking out Murtha would be a big step to cleaning out the cesspool that is Congress.

And keep up with the campaign at Russell's official Web site.

I believe Bill Russell was knocked off the primary ballot by Murtha's people who went to court to challenge his nominating petition, but Mr. Russell got enough write-in votes to qualify for the Novemember ballot.
