Democratic Rep. John P. Murtha is in such deep trouble that for the first time in anyone’s memory, there are two Republicans facing off for the right to carry the GOP banner against him next year in Pennsylvania.
One is William Russell, (USA-Ret.), who took 42 percent of the vote against Murtha last year — despite raising and spending more than $3 million.
The new candidate is Tim Burns, who shared with me the first of a planned series of Web videos his campaign will be releasing in the coming months, leading up to the May 18 GOP primary.

I don't know how much he spent on that video, but a waste of precious campaign resources, IMHO. Too long. Sure some folks like you and I will read it...but shorter is better on the Web. I lost interest after about 45 seconds.
The video was of decent quality and accurate -- but more like something a corporate marketing department would have at a convention exhibit.
An underdog needs to conserve resource and act more like a guerilla campaign ... 4 minute videos don't move the needle.
