Isaac Weix may have primary opposition

Rumor has it that John Murtha is considering a run for the 29th assembly seat as a Republican. No, this isn't the Pennsylvania congressman who's been ranting against the war in Iraq. This guy is from Baldwin.

I have no personal confirmation of the rumor. As of now, it's still a rumor. I'll keep you posted as I hear more.

P.S. If this John Murtha is the guy who I think it is (based on a White Pages search), then his middle initial is "P," which is the same as the Pennsylvania congressman. Very odd/ironic/weird/whatever-adjective-you-want-to-insert-here.

UPDATE: It's been confirmed: John P. Murtha is running. I checked it out with the State Elections Board. Apparently he's got some band in Baldwin that's got a local following. Forgot their name. I'm sure more will come later.
