As announced via a Russell email update from this morning:

“Since the Governor has announced that the Special Election will be held on Primary day, May 18th,” said Russell, “it makes perfect sense to also be a candidate in the special election. It’s a move that makes sense for the voters and will simplify the process for the thousands of my supporters.”

Russell responded immediately upon hearing of the death of Rep. Murtha by suspending all campaign activity and urging all citizens, Republicans, Democrats and Independents to come together and pray for Murtha family. “Regardless of your political position, you always knew Jack had an immense love and loyalty to his family and the residents of the12th Congressional District,” Russell said in an earlier release.

Russell has now officially resumed his primary campaign and will also unveil a newly designed web site at www.russellbrigade.com, within the next few days.

So, will those Murtha-described “racists” and “rednecks” vote for Russell? I think so, since the pork machine has now been turned off for that district.
