2. Obama didn't call them a bunch of racist rednecks.

3. It would be disappointing if Murtha lost, but honestly, if I lived in his district,
I'd be highly tempted to vote third party or leave that slot blank. Nobody likes being called names.

4. He sacraficed himself to get votes for Obama!
Probably not, but it would be a devilishly brilliant plot if he did.

"They're racist over there!"

"I'm not racist! To prove it, I'm gonna vote for THAT ONE!"

5. He'll be fine
Murtha has been there for years and has gained a lot of clout, the district is not going to let him go for some two-bit, unknown Republican.
