What now for Murtha's district?
Posted by Staff

Presumably there will be a special election in Pennsylvania 12 to replace Murtha on May 18, which is primary day. This is the only district in the nation that voted for John Kerry in 2004 and John McCain in 2008. You might want to explain that as an affinity for Vietnam veterans. The better explanation is that it is part of the Jacksonian belt that starts in southwest Pennsylvania and extends along the Appalachians and southwestward to Tennessee and Texas-an area where Barack Obama ran very poorly in both the primaries and the general election in 2008. In any case, it voted only narrowly (51%-49%) for Kerry and favored McCain over Obama by an even narrower margin (49%-49%, a margin of 873 votes).

I [talked with House Commerce Committee Chairman Henry Waxman] yesterday. I said, 'You keep saying you want to keep current law. I gave him the language [that describes current law]. He said 'But we want to pay for abortions.' I said, 'Mr Chairman, we don't do that now, we aren't going to start.' He said 'But we think we should.'
