Nothing endears you to the citizens of your state like saying that they’re not supporting your candidate of choice because they’re racists. Currently being featured in red font on the Drudge Report…

Mr. Murtha said it has taken time for the state’s voters embrace a black presidential candidate.

“There’s no question Western Pennsylvania is a racist area,” said Mr. Murtha, whose district stretches from Johnstown to Washington County. “The older population is more hesitant.”

Jack M. wonders who Murtha could possible be talking about, then finds this from the story.

Mr. Murtha said groups he deals with regularly, such as military veterans and senior citizens, have come around to supporting Mr. Obama in the past three months. He credited Mr. Obama with being the most organized candidate he has ever seen.

Niiiiiiiice.
