[...] elected Murtha in an overwhelming 58% majority.   You have got to be joking! In the end, Murtha’s racists and rednecks re-elected him back to Washington, [...]

ANew dayhas come,finally we have shownthe world what democracy really means and a good model for the whole world congrats America and GOd bless USA

If you lived in murtha's district you would want him to win as well. Research the area & understand the economics that have been significantly boosted by him. We all say things we wish we could take back, but sometimes the truth hurts. For people who know that area racism boils under the surface. It may not be obvious but murtha's statement wasn't far off

What's really amazing here is that most of you think it's an insult to be called a redneck. I consider it an honor.

He's not afraid to speak the truth. I grew up in southwestern PA, he didn't lie, it's an incredibly racist area.

shaking my head as to why he won after calling us racists rednecks and then asking for our vote.

the comment about Murtha trafficing money into western Pa is true. He also uses his connections to bring jobs to the area. Even though he is not well liked the general population will continue to vote for him. Once he is gone, so are the jobs that he has brought to the area!! So can you really call the people of western Pa stupid rednecks for wanting to stay employed?

Congratulations Mr. Murtha. I hope that you use all of your experience to avoid future problems.

if he can win why not obama

congrats to MURTHA for he is one to speak the truth. Martini in Playa del re california

As a person raised in Western PA, I find the guy disgraceful. He's an old and obviously senile jerk that needs to hang up his hat.

What really amazes me, is the people he offended voted for him.

Americans has show the world that their is hope for every body living in the USA by the election of OBAMA as the next American president. LONG LIVE OBAMA LONG LIVE THE USA

Are you kidding me! Murtha was right, the people that live in that part of the state are red necks. He stabbed our troops in the back over and over again, and yet you re-elect him. You deserve what you get.

It is hard to beat an incumbent even when he bad mouths his own constituents. Good luck to murtha,Pres elect Obama and our country

yaaaaaaay!!!! Obama won!! Woooo hoooo!!!

Murtha represents everything that is wrong with politics today. I'm a Democrat and even i hope he loses next time out.

This is one guy that should go away

If the people of PA are stupid enough to re-elect this toad after what he said, then they deserve what they get. Idiot rednecks

I tip my hat to you for being a great American and truthful.

Thank God !!

So, Murthat got re-eleted. I guess his voters are proud that he considers them racists and rednecks.

So, if murtha got re-elected, i guess he was right; his constituents are racist rednecks..........

this old man needs to retire

CONGRATULATION Murtha. God Bless You.

OBAMA / BIDEN

murtha is a simpleton putz.... plain and simple... murtha and anyone who voted for him is an uneducated delinquent.

yes we can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some people are really willing to forgive. Murtha needs to watch what he says. He might think some of these things, but he shouldn't say them as freely as he is allowed to think them. He could have lost and I don't know how close the race was. He might not make it next time.

You go boy!

How dumb are you people in Pennsylvania? This guy slapped you all in the face and you re-elect him? He's a piece of crap. Thank God he's old...

So Pennsylvanians ARE as stupid as Obama thought.

Well, OK then. Your member of Congress twice insults the character of you and your fellow residents of his district. Yet you return him to Congress. Western PA gets exactly what it deserves then.

Now we can say, "YES WE DID!" instead of Yes we can. GREAT NIGHT FOR AMERICA! OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!

HARD, HARD, HARD to believe you re-elected Murtha. However, I hope you get EXACTLY what you voted/wished for!

Its a shame he won

Congratulations Rep. Murtha! YES WE CAN! YES WE DID!

Self-interest wins again, and the King of Pork-Barrel reigns on.

This district deserves him and his thoughts/actions.
So good to have him back to add to the discourse with such intelligent statements.

Quite frankly if Obama keeps his promise to bankrupt the coal industry, Pennsylvania voters and residents deserve to suffer the consequenses.

I want to thank Bush
for our wonderful and Historical achievement.
God bless AMERICA and GOD blees Barack Obama!!
Now let's all move forward together!!!

Just shows that any of these crooks will get relected no matter how scummy they are as long as they can port up their District and people are ignorant enough to allow it to happen. Nothing will change in Washington, good job Pennsylvania

You people deserve Murtha – I would be ashamed to live there!

He was right. Western PA is EXTREMELY racist. There was no need to apologize. He spoke the truth. The individuals who got mad by his comments would have been the ones who ARE racist.

Murtha is a bigot. He won Pennsylvania. I am in shock.

WHEW!!!

THAT WAS A CLOSE ONE MURTHA. WATCH WHAT YOU SAY NEXT TIME!

I said it eight months ago, CNN... Bye... I will never listen to this News Program again.. Pity!????????????????????
