Backpedaling in a Circle

Rep. John Murtha (D-PA) helpfully explains that he didn't mean it when he called the people who vote for him "racists."

What he meant to say was that his district used to be "really redneck" and "there's still folks that have a problem voting for someone because they are black."

Glad he cleared that up.

Now that Mr. Murtha has made his district out to be a population of Klansmen, how hard must it be for voters to go out and pull the lever for him?
