… or so sayeth their elected representatives…

John Murtha has such a high opinion of the good people of his district…

“I think Obama is going to win, but I don’t think it’s going to be a runaway,” he said. “I think he wins Pennsylvania.”

Mr. Murtha said it has taken time for the state’s voters embrace a black presidential candidate.

“There’s no question Western Pennsylvania is a racist area,” said Mr. Murtha, whose district stretches from Johnstown to Washington County. “The older population is more hesitant.”

If  I were in his district, I would be shouting… “RECALLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!”  What a ridiculously stupid thing to say of the people you represent.  Because, there could be no other reason for their not voting for Obama than they are racists, right?
