Though it would seem that sentiment should translate into a surge at the polls for Obama, the junior senator from Illinois has a deeper problem in rural areas like the one Murtha represents, the congressman said.
“Obama’s got a problem with the race issue in Western Pennsylvania,” Murtha said, adding that it could knock up to 4 percentage points off his lead in the polls. He said he asks voters to look beyond Obama’s skin color and “listen to what he’s saying.” Obama would be the first black U.S. president.
Just what is Murtha up to now?
This little gem appeared earlier in the article:
“It’s my obligation to speak out. I try everything I can to get things done,” Murtha said.
Yeah, we kinda figured that out.
