Breaking: New poll shows Russell over Murtha, 48-35

By Michelle Malkin  •  October 23, 2008 02:58 PM

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.

The new poll is from Dane and Associates, which surveyed over 800 probable voters, randomly selected to reflect the district makeup, on Wednesday night.

My syndicated column tomorrow will spotlight Russell’s conservative counterinsurgent campaign, which has been buoyed by grass-roots word-of-mouth and Internet activism.

Keep it up.

The Russell Brigade needs all the help it can get.

Conservatives can make a difference in this election. We do have candidates who will fight for us. So fight for them. Make your voice heard.

***

And yes, these new poll results do have implications for the McCain-Obama race in Penn, don’t they?

More to come…

    I really hope that Russell wins. We need a new generation and new blood. Murtha is a bloated, old dinosaur who needs to fade away. He is an embarassment.

    I also hope that more veterans (of all political stripes) run for office at both the local, state, and national level. We need new blood desperately.

    Please, Western PA, boot out Murtha!!!

    Why not get two birds with one stone, and have Sarah go to this district again and have Mr. Russell there to introduce her?

    Pennsylvania is critical here, and it sure would be nice to take the fat ass ex-Marine off the Hill and send him home for good. Maybe the Presidential numbers there will be moved in the right direction as well. What would you expect, 15 or 25,000 people on a short notice?

    You can choose not to, and the attitude is fine if it keeps complacency at bay. But you know who does believe them? The RNC. And you can bet they are going to be throwing a lot more attention this race’s way based on this poll. Murtha would be a mighty scalp in what is looking like an otherwise dismal cycle.

    For incentive Murtha is still slamming the troops

    Murtha has stood fast, saying his blunt language brought critical improvement to how American troops engage Iraqis. “We’re no longer just breaking down doors,” Murtha said.

    Officials, including a two-star general, conducting the investigation and the Naval Criminal Investigation Service “came up with the same conclusion I did,” Murtha said.

    Can the Dems spot Rep. Kanjorski as well? Is he running unopposed? He’s another bloated carcas of a Dem that needs to fade away. Given that he’s a big benefactor of pork and how he’s directed it toward a company his family owned that went belly up, I think it’s time that he not be reelected.

    Full story

    While the unsubstantiated reports of nasty remarks and advocacy of violence from attendees at McCain’s rallies remains the buzz from the Old Media establishment and as the Old Media points its accusing finger at Gov. Palin, constantly calling her a racist, real violence has been perpetrated on a McCain supporter at the hands of an Obamaton. Yet, strangely enough, the media has remained silent on the incident.
    Oleg Atbashian informs us that the District Attorney of New York has indicted an Obama supporter that ripped a McCain sign out of the hands of a McCain supporter and beat her in the face with the wooden stick to which the sign was attached.

    Hannity said a 20yr old woman had a B carved into her face. I can’t find anything else on it though.

    Had to fix it. Good news for Russell.

    Hannity just said a McCain volunteer was attacked in PA and mutilated. Anyone else hear about this?

    No, not yet. It would only be all over the MSM by now if it had happened to an Obummer disciple.

    The headline makes it seem like a “routine” robbery.

    It’s not until paragraph 3 do they talk about the real motivation.

    You’re right. Nothing to see here…move along. It’s just s simple robbery. No motive.

    Can you even imagine the hyperventilating that would be going on right now if this was an Obama volunteer or supporter? It would be an above the fold special edition for the NYT!!! Stop the presses!!!!

    Horrible. What kind of person, of either political persuasion, is driven to violence (or further violence; this was a robbery to begin with) by the sight of a sticker/sign showing support of the other candidate? There is no reason for us to declare war on each other; we have enough problems outside our own soil.

    Anywho, GOOD news about Murtha losing.

    Senator Murtha:

    Stick out foot.

    Draw gun.

    Pull trigger.

    Repeat.
