I wish it weren't so... but Jack Murtha was right

I've lived in Western PA my whole 41 years.

Jack Murtha may have not been tactful in the way he said it, but he told the unvarnished truth about a large segment of the population here.



You know what else?

When Obama made his "bitter" comments about PA back in the spring.... he was 100% right too.



I think the reason the Hannitys of the world were/are so outraged by these kinds of comments is because they KNOW the comments are hitting close to home.




Say what you want about Jack Murtha.... but the guy is a former marine who was calling out the Bush administration on Iraq LONG before it was popular to do so.


And he told the truth about Yinzer country (Western PA).

2. Because of overwhelming the Philly area with a 700,000+ vote margin, I think Obama wins

...by about 200,000 to 250,000 votes.

3. And I think it was a challenge to the fence-sitters who don't think they're racist.
I actually think it may have been a smart bomb to throw.
