I've enjoyed being on the same side with Democrats for McCain, but this from No Quarter, a stalwart defender of American freedom during this time of crisis, reminds me that, well, they're still democrats.

In 2004 Kerry won Allegheny, and outlying counties, by slim margins:
Allegheny: 96,987
Beaver: 2,230
Washington: 552
Fayette: 4,075
That’s 103,844 votes. Leaving a margin of 40,044 votes in the 2004 totals. There is one reason and one reason only that Kerry took these
counties: Tereza Heinz-Kerry. Knowing this, Obama tried to trot her out
in the run-up to the Pennsylvania primary. Her lack of enthusiasm for
the candidate was pretty obvious. Obama has no such connection. In
fact, the one thing he had going for him in the area, John Murtha,
decided to pick the scab off the bitter/cling incident by calling his
constituents racists, and then rednecks. Personally I think Murtha fell
on a grenade, potentially ending his political career to prevent Obama
from getting into the White House.

Murtha, who was saved from a prison term by virtue of listening to his
radio while driving to pick up his bribe, and learning that the
Feds were making Abscam arrests in time to turn-around. Murtha who
slandered the Haditha Marines. Murtha, an ass-kissing toad of Nancy
Pelosi, the worst House Speaker in American history? Falling on a real grenade would be the first patriotic thing he's done in 40 years. Other than that, pretty good summation. I like this part.

And lay off the conscientious abstainers. They have made their decision
based on their ethics. Respect it. If, in the privacy of the voting
booth they have a change of heart, they will do that without being
cajoled by us (my entire immediate family is voting for Pampers, guess
how that feels?). Now, on to Pennsylvania. |

I know how it feels, being in virtually the same boat. I could drink beer with this No Quarters guy.
