Murtha: Western Pa. 'racist'
Democratic Rep. John Murtha said Wednesday his home base of western Pennsylvania is racist and that could reduce Barack Obama's victory margin in the state by 4 percentage points.
The 17-term Democratic congressman told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in a story posted Wednesday on its Web site: "There is no question that western Pennsylvania is a racist area."
Murtha said it has taken time for many Pennsylvania voters to come around to embracing a black presidential candidate, but that Obama should still win the state, though not in a runaway.
In a separate interview posted Wednesday on the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review's Web site, Murtha said Obama has a problem with voters' racial attitudes in western Pennsylvania that could trim his winning margin on Nov. 4.

McCain will win.
There are enough racists on both sides of the aisle who will never vote a black man in. Racism is simply a fact of life.

How dumb do you have to be.. he just called his own constituents racist.
Also, maybe I'm wrong, but didn't Murtha get caught up in some racism controversy a while back himself?
