Murtha was also pro-life and anti-gun control. PA-12 is a district Obama lost, its going to make sense that Democrats running in the district are going to run a bit more conservative than other districts.

A "bit" more conservative?
Critz ran against obama's signature issue, obamacare. Against another Cap&Trade and KNEW better not to enlist obama to rally for him.
Just shows how political power he has, that he can't even come to a tried and true Blue state to campaign for a democrat.

Deeds and Corzine were both already losing when Obama campaigned for them.....
Well you are an expert on absolute nonsense, just not detecting it.

Those moderates in the republican party are still there,
Ah, not they aren't.
Quote:
they haven't switched over to the democrat party
Ah, yes many did.
This shift in the state's west was mirrored four years ago by a surprise in the four Republican counties adjacent to Philadelphia. Once depended upon to offset 6-to-1 vote margins for the Democrats in Philly, three of the suburban counties went for John Kerry. Republican women in those counties, economic conservatives but social liberals, ditched the GOP over abortion.
In many ways, those Republican women are the mirror image of western Pennsylvania Democrats, who four years ago leaned Republican so hard that counties such as Cambria and Greene tipped into the GOP column for the first time since George McGovern scared the blue out of their collars in 1972. Beaver County, which by registration is 2-to-1 Democrat, gave Kerry a scant 51 percent.
Yep. Looks like the voters in that district approve of Obama. Thanks for pointing that out.
