The Massachusetts Miracle continues to reverberate... as the Kennedy brand continues to crumble. And for the first time in five decades, America will enjoy the myriad benefits of a Kennedy-free Congress...

Bush Billboard: the "Miss Me Yet" Mystery

For those cruising I-35 in Wyoming, Minnesota, an eye-catching billboard featuring former US president George W. Bush and the words, "Miss Me Yet?" is sure to nab your attention.

Bob Collins of Minnesota Public Radio says that the billboard is real, not Photoshopped, and he has been trying to source who paid for it- but as of Tuesday morning, no luck-

And yeah... I do miss him, particularly when it comes to our nation's defense. As for the spendthrift ways, not so keen on that... but everything's relative, and it can always get worse... a lot worse.

Murtha Seat Up for Grabs-- Dems Already in Panic Mode

The Wall Street Journal reports a fight shaping-up for the now-open seat of John Murtha. The gist is that Nancy Pelosi really can't afford another hit to her side's morale as she struggles to save the imploding statist agenda- but America's resurgent Right smells blood in the wake of the Massachusetts Miracle, and has different ideas...

Democrats are mourning the personal loss of their colleague Rep. John Murtha, but his death today at age 77 is doubly troubling for the party that will have to defend his seat in an upcoming special election.

Immediately following the news of his death, election analysts rated the race as competitive for the GOP.

While Murtha has held the seat since 1974 with few re-election scares, the Johnstown-area district outside of Pittsburgh has right-leaning roots, and a special election contest will be targeted by House Republicans. With Murtha’s death, Democrats now control the House by a 256-178 margin.

In the 2008 presidential campaign, Sen. John McCain (R., Ariz.) won the district by a narrow 1,000 vote margin against President Barack Obama. It was the only district in the nation, however, that voted Democratic in the 2004 presidential race that was carried by McCain four years later.

Pennsylvania Democratic Gov. Ed Rendell must set a date for a special election within the next ten days, according to state law. A likely date is May 18, when the state’s primary elections will take place.

The Guardian (UK) sees Murtha's passing as a real problem for Team Obama-

The fear in the party is that Republicans will notch up another victory when a special election is held, probably May.

The Democrats have been panicking since losing Ted Kennedy's Massachusetts Senate seat to the Republicans last month...

His death came on a day that saw Barack Obama's poll ratings fall further. A Marist poll found that only 44% of voters surveyed approved of his job performance, down 2% on December. More alarming for Democratic strategists, 57% of independents disapprove of his performance.

Murtha's death will have a negligible impact on the arithmetic of the House, where the Democrats have an overwhelming majority, unlike in the Senate. But another defeat in the spring would add to the sense of panic among Democrats in the run-up to the Congressional mid-term elections in November...

Of course today's shameless -and desperate- Democrats didn't take but a couple hours before they were trying to use Murtha's passing politically... Gateway Pundit has that -here-

Iraq War Critic Jack Murtha Dead at 77

Breaking News, Jack Murtha has passed-on...

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Congressman John P. Murtha died Monday at 1:18 p.m. at Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington, VA.
