Seriously, is he on the McCain payroll?  I wouldn't go around pissing off WPA, it's a fairly soft swing electorate in a (remotely) swing state.  (Ohio-ish demos.)

No doubt it's factually correct, but it seems like the sort of thing that could tick off open-minded but traditional voters.

Traditional voters aren't open minded about deciding who to vote for at all. That's the whole point; identity trumping a consumer choice.

Unless thou bist using "traditional" as a euphemism for something else.

Frankly, I don't understand what you mean by traditional.  I mean the plain meaning of the word -- people who embrace tradition.  They usually vote red, but would be willing to listen to a blue candidate.  Murtha's comments run the risk of pushing them back to their default position -- "if that's how them liberals see us..."
