It may be closer than you think…
A Pennsylvania source has just leaked me brand spanking new poll data showing GOP upstart Bill Russell leading John Murtha among over 800 probable voters by 48-35.
This comes on top of the Susquehanna poll showing Murtha ahead of Russell by 4 points, within the margin of error.
Maybe people are finally sick of Democrat John Murtha accusing U.S. soldiers of murder or his own constituents of being racists.
Either way, this is potentially big news. For one, it puts another House seat in the tossup (or solid red) category. But it also has the potential to impact the Presidential race. Pennsylvania is reachable for John McCain. A big turnout to get involved in the Murtha-Russell election could positively impact the Presidential ticket as well.
So if there was ever a time and place to contribute in this election cycle, I would say the time is now and the place is Pennsylvania.
