Murtha vs Irey

[J. J.]

Irey will run a good campaign, definetley stronger than the past jokes that have run against Murtha but he'll still cruise to re-election. I think someone might poll it but it will be a one time thing.

I think Holtzman actually defeated him in Westmoreland County in '86, or at least came very close.

It's a 3 to 6 million dollar race.  I'm not familiar with Irey, at all.

The right candidate, with enough money, could win, but I doubt it would be Irey.

There have been worse, even in that area.  PA-4 in 1982.
