Murtha: Western Pa. ‘racist’ but Obama should win
PITTSBURGH (AP) - U.S. Rep. John Murtha says his home base of western Pennsylvania is racist and that could reduce Barack Obama’s victory margin in the state by 4 percentage points.
The 17-term Democratic congressman tells the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in a story posted Wednesday on its Web site that, as he put it: “There is no question that western Pennsylvania is a racist area.”
That margin percentage against Obama could grow. Fast.


Fixed it for ya.
“Professional politician”. What a disgusting idea. And inimical to the republic.
