    I dunno how this effects the midterm. I'm not sure if he was up for re-election or not this year.

    maybe they needed the five days to figure up their strategy for keeping a republican out of the people's seat.

    and maybe somebody oughta take note of how many times he's voted since last wednesday.

    From the link;
    Murtha rose to become the chairman of the House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee that controls spending for the Pentagon.

    Chairs of the appropriations subcommittee panels are viewed with such prestige on Capitol Hill that they’re called “cardinals.”

    That’s a nod to Rome because of the eminence these lawmakers hold over spending for their federal fiefdom.

    That's for sure! I didn't notice that. Maybe he's not dead yet, but will be dead by Wednesday . . .

    (trying not to get too cynical), maybe keeping him alive so his "finger" can vote. (sorry too cynical)

    I didn't write the article.

    I assume he entered the hospital on Wednesday.
